Construction Industry Scheme ‘CIS’ Training
Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) Training – May 2026
Understanding and correctly applying the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is not just a regulatory requirement for most public bodies—it’s critical to avoiding costly penalties and reputational risk. With complex rules around payments, deductions, and reporting, even experienced teams can find compliance a challenge.
This essential training course provides a practical, in-depth overview of CIS from a public sector perspective. Whether you’re new to CIS or looking to refresh your knowledge, the session will help ensure your organisation stays fully compliant and up to date with current legislation.
- Gain a detailed understanding of CIS from a public body perspective.
- Learn about compliance essentials, including payments, deductions, and reporting.
- Explore complex areas like material costs, mixed contracts, and small payments exemptions.
- Stay updated on the April 2021 legislative changes, including the £3m threshold test and rolling accounting periods.
This course is ideal for staff responsible for CIS administration, procurement, or engaging subcontractors.
It considers all the main aspects of CIS from the perspective of a public body as a ‘deemed contractor’. This will include a detailed overview of the scheme designed for those involved in its administration, as well as those responsible for procuring and engaging new suppliers and communicating with subcontractors whose work may fall within the definition of the scheme.
It will cover the common CIS compliance issues; in particular, what falls within the scope of CIS and the ongoing obligations regarding making payments, deductions and reporting to HMRC. It will also consider cases of difficulty, including disputes over material costs, mixed contracts and the small payments exemption. This will all be supported by the use of case studies. We will also cover the April 2021 legislative changes current including how the £3m threshold test is determined and the 12-month rolling accounting period basis that must be applied, and cost of materials that subcontractors incur directly.
We recommend this training course to all PSTAX clients and contacts, particularly for staff with responsibility for administering the Scheme, as well as those responsible for procuring and engaging new suppliers and communicating with subcontractors whose work may fall within the definition of the scheme.
