AMAZE CIS
If you are working in the construction industry then chances are you will have to comply with the government’s Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) when it comes to getting paid.
At Amaze we offer CIS solutions to support workers who engage in construction operations including building construction, alterations, demolitions, instillations and civil engineering projects to be paid correctly, quickly and efficiently.
CIS EXPLAINED

CIS TAX RATES
30%

Deducted from payments to subcontractors who are not fully registered under the CIS scheme. The contractor will provide the sub-contractor with a CIS certificate confirming any deductions and submit CIS returns to HMRC at the end of each month.

Amaze CIS Sole Trader is an ideal solution to support self employed sole traders engaged on any construction projects and who are subject to the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). We offer support in handling your gross payments and processing the correct tax deduction to ensure you get paid quickly and efficiently with the minimum of hassle. We can also offer you assistance with your Self-Assessment tax Returns.
To use the services of Amaze CIS Sole Trader you will need to demonstrate that you are in business on your own account and do not work under Supervision, Direction and Control (SDC) for each contract you work on. To ensure compliance with all relevant legislation, we will conduct a fully compliant and transparent Self-Employment Assessment (SEA) for each assignment so you have the peace of mind you’re on the right solution and that the tax on all income is appropriately applied.

Our services are used when a worker is unable to pass the SDC assessment for the contract they are working on.

WHAT IS SDC?
Supervision, Direction and Control are tests to establish if the subcontractor is deemed inside an IR35 contract. If the worker cannot pass the SDC test then their earnings must be treated as if they were employed.
