Centralisation of most Construction Industry Scheme processing work

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has now centralised the majority of work relating to the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) into a single office in Newry, Northern Ireland. This reorganisation will enable us to provide a better and more consistent service by developing a dedicated, centralised team skilled in dealing with our construction industry customers.

Some work relating to limited company subcontractors’ gross payment status will still be handled by our Corporation Tax processing teams across the country.

If you need to contact HMRC about CIS, please continue to use the dedicated CIS Helpline Tel 0845 366 7899.
