For the first time, Right to Work requirements are being extended to cover individual subcontractors, making this a major change for the construction industry.

We’ve strengthened our onboarding process so the appropriate Right to Work check is completed before an operative starts:

✅ Digital identity verification

✅ Home Office online checks

✅ Manual document checks where required

✅ Follow-up checks for time-limited Right to Work

For our clients, it means one less compliance headache.

For our subcontractors, it means a clear and efficient onboarding process.

💭 CIS Myth #1

"If someone has a UTR, they must be self-employed."

❌ Not necessarily.

A UTR simply means someone is registered with HMRC.

Employment status is determined by how they actually work, not by their tax registration.

Understanding the difference can help contractors avoid costly mistakes.

🚧 CIS compliance is about more than paperwork.

Getting your subcontractor arrangements wrong can have serious consequences. If HMRC determines workers should have been treated as employees, contractors could face unexpected tax and National Insurance liabilities.

At SHMS Contracting, we help construction businesses put compliant labour models in place from the outset, giving you confidence that your processes are built to meet HMRC requirements.

⚠️ CIS Myth #2

“Using subcontractors removes employment risk.”

❌ Not quite.

If HMRC decides workers should have been employees, the contractor can still be liable for tax and NI.

That’s why correct onboarding and documentation matter.

At SHMS Contracting, we help contractors get CIS right from day one.

Stay penalty-free with SHMS Contracting. We provide CIS compliance for contractors, covering onboarding, payroll, tax checks and HMRC audit support.

📊 Construction payroll isn’t like normal payroll.

CIS requires subcontractor verification, correct deductions and HMRC reporting.

That’s why many contractors work with specialist providers.

At SHMS Contracting, we help construction businesses keep payroll compliant and running smoothly.

SHMS Contracting delivers CIS compliance services, subcontractor labour supply and payroll support to keep UK construction firms fully HMRC compliant.
