Understand CIS
CIS TRAINING SOLUTIONS WELCOMES YOU
It is essential that businesses which operate within the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) do so effectively in order to avoid potential pitfalls. This course explains the CIS in detail, from the time that the contracting organisation engages a subcontractor, to making payments to the subcontractor. It is completely up to date with the recent changes that HMRC have made to the CIS.
In addition to dealing with the administration of the scheme, attendees will receive practical advice on how to manage the typical issues that they will encounter with subcontractors. To reinforce the learning and consolidate your knowledge, there are also two interactive sessions which look at case studies and exercises relating to the scheme.
