Companies that have deductions taken from their income as subcontractors should set-off these deductions against the amounts payable monthly or quarterly for PAYE, National Insurance contributions and Student Loan repayments due from their employees and CIS deductions from their subcontractors. This should be done monthly (or quarterly, as appropriate) and the calculation should be shown on the company’s EPS.

Companies should simply reduce the amount of PAYE, National Insurance contributions, Student Loan repayments and any scheme deductions they pay over to our accounts office by the amount of CIS deductions made from their income.
