Construction Industry Scheme
CIS control, without the constant chase.
Keep verification, deductions, statements and monthly returns moving through one clear process, with support from people who understand the detail.
Talk through your CIS setupWhere the pressure builds
Small gaps become expensive distractions.
CIS brings together status decisions, verification, payment data, deduction calculations, statements, records and monthly deadlines.
When those jobs sit across spreadsheets and inboxes, finance teams lose time fixing mismatches and answering the same pay questions. NZTWORX helps turn the moving parts into a controlled monthly rhythm.

Useful answers
CIS questions, clearly answered.
When does a subcontractor need to be verified?
HMRC says contractors must verify a new subcontractor before payment, unless the relevant previous-return rules mean a fresh verification is not needed. The information supplied must match the details the subcontractor used with HMRC.
What is included on a monthly CIS return?
The return reports payments made to subcontractors through CIS, including relevant deductions. It also includes declarations about employment status and verification.
Can NZTWORX work with our existing systems?
Yes. We begin by mapping your current inputs, approvals and outputs, then agree the most practical way to connect payroll data with your accounts, HR and reporting tools.
Does outsourced support remove our responsibilities?
No. Your business remains responsible for its statutory duties and for decisions such as employment status. We make the agreed administration and reporting more controlled, visible and manageable.
