HMRC will no longer provide bulk payment
and deduction details for subcontractors in the Construction Industry
Scheme (CIS)
The provision of payment and deduction details to subcontractors and
their agents has become a growing problem. We will no longer provide
this information on a bulk basis but will continue to help any subcontractor
that has a genuine need for this information. (Updated 25 July
