The ‘nil return’ requirement was introduced on 6 April. If a contractor does not make a payment to HMRC, they will have to notify them. However, this is no longer necessary as the government has introduced new legislation to make the CIS less burdensome. The new legislation will make it easier for contractors to comply with the new legislation and avoid penalties. Using the new online appeals service, contractors can easily establish that they did not make a payment to HMRC.
When a contractor has not made a payment to a subcontractor, they should file a nil return with HMRC. In this way, they will avoid HMRC chasing them. However, it is important to note that it is still mandatory for contractors to file monthly returns and pay PAYE quarterly. To file a nil return, a contractor must provide information about their subcontractor, including their name, unique taxpayer reference, national insurance number, and company registration number. This will help HMRC confirm that the subcontractor is genuinely self-employed.
If a company has subcontractors, it is important to add them to CIS before making payments. Generally, the tax period is from the 6th to the fifth of each month. Subcontractors can be individuals, companies, or others. The subcontractor’s name, CRN, and UTR are essential for filing a CIS return. The company or individual must also be verified before payments are made. In addition, a company or individual must be added to CIS before payments are made.

In these cases, filing a nil return should be done on the same date as the last day of the sixth month following the end of the tax year.
