A Company can register for CIS
- by contacting the CIS Contact Centre
- by completing a paper application form CIS305
Applicants may complete photocopies of the application form CIS305 provided that all of the entries are fully legible. In addition to this copies of these application forms will also be available to be downloaded from the HMRC website.
Two things are needed before registration can proceed:
- there must be a Corporation Tax (CTSA) record for the Company, and
- where the company is applying for gross payment status there must be a Self-Assessment (SA) record for each director and/or company secretary.
However, please also see the text under ‘Directors Information’ below.
See also CISR42130 in respect of applications from non-resident companies.
Directors’ information
Company applications for gross payment must include full information about the company’s directors. However, for applications for net payment, we do not ask for directors’ information as part of the company’s application.
