CIS300 returns filed late or missed entirely
Subcontractor records incomplete or missing
April 2026: personal director liability on "should have known" standard

Common questions

Construction payroll and CIS — what you need to know.

CIS payroll covers processing subcontractor payments under HMRC's Construction Industry Scheme — verifying subcontractors, calculating deductions, maintaining records, issuing payment summaries and filing monthly CIS300 returns, including nil returns now mandatory from April 2026.
From April 2026, HMRC can revoke Gross Payment Status immediately with no advance notice, and ban reapplication for five years. Directors are personally liable under a 'should have known' standard. Mandatory nil returns were reinstated. A clean, documented CIS process is no longer optional.
Yes. Bookd handles both in one monthly process, with separate HMRC submissions for each. Most construction firms run PAYE and CIS simultaneously and this is our most common service combination.
Bookd needs the subcontractor name, UTR number, National Insurance number, business type and payment amounts. HMRC verification is completed before the first payment to establish the correct deduction rate.
Incorrect CIS records can result in HMRC penalties, wrong deduction rates, difficulty reclaiming deductions, and from April 2026, potential revocation of Gross Payment Status. Bookd maintains clean records from the first payment.
CIS Starter packages begin from £149 per month. Combined PAYE and CIS from £299 per month. Exact pricing depends on headcount and subcontractor numbers. Request a free check for a specific quote.
