- In the ‘Trading Details’ window
- Select the [Apply for Gross] button
This takes you to the ‘Turnover Details’ window
- In the ‘Turnover Details’ panel of the ‘Turnover’ window
- Enter the number recorded at Box 22 of the form CIS305 in the ‘Maximum Number of Relevant Persons’ field

- Enter
- the account name recorded at Box 24 of the form CIS305 in the ‘Account Name’ field
- the Sort Code recorded at Box 25 of the form CIS305 in the ‘Sortcode’ field
- the account number recorded at Box 26 of the CIS305 in the ‘Account Number’ field
- Select the [Validate] button and the CIS System will show whether the bank account details are ‘Valid’ or ‘Invalid’
If you see ‘Valid’ alongside ‘Account Valid’ entry
- Go to Step 6)
If you see ‘Invalid’ alongside ‘Account Valid’ and the message ‘The bank account is not registered in the UK’
- Go to Step 5)
- Where the bank account details appear to be invalid
- Telephone the applicant to explore the reason for the failure
If the Bank account remains invalid or where the Turnover Test has failed, or both, then you should select [Next] and not the [Cancel Gross] button on this window, you will then be presented with a dialogue box which says “Press OK to cancel the application for gross and remain on net”, select [OK] to confirm the declaration for Payment Under Deduction. The system will then automatically write to the customer (CIS308) advising that they are registered for Payment under Deduction but they have failed the application for gross payment status. The reasons for failure will be detailed on the letter.
- Go to Step 8)
If you are satisfied that the bank account exists
- Select the ‘Override’ checkbox
- Select the dropdown arrow alongside the ‘Reason for Override’ field
- Select the appropriate description
- Go to Step 6)
- If both the Turnover Test was passed and the bank account details are valid
- Select the [Next] button and this takes you to the ‘Employer Obligations’ window
- Go to Step 7)
- In the ‘Employer Obligations’ window
- If there is an ‘X’ in the ‘Yes’ box in Box 51 of form CIS305, select the ‘Yes’ radio button
- Enter each reference shown in Box 51 in the ‘AO Ref’ fields
Note it is not necessary to enter the references of any contractor schemes that the applicant has, as CIS Reform will automatically know these, so the PAYE references to be entered here are those that are strictly PAYE only.
- Select the [Next] button
- This takes you to the ‘Declaration’ window.
- In the ‘Declaration’ window
- Select the checkbox at the top right-hand corner of the window
- Select the [OK] button
You should check again that the declaration has been signed before selecting the confirmation box at the top right of the window. If the application is being made by paper, the application form must be signed by the subcontractor, it cannot be signed by a Tax adviser on the subcontractor’s behalf.
Note - The wording on the ‘Declaration’ window differs between applications for net payment status and applications for gross payment status. There will be no confirmation that registration has been completed.
In the unlikely event that the subcontractor refuses to make the declaration required that the information given above is correct, you will need to select [Cancel] on this window which will take you back to the CIS Main Menu, the subcontractor should be advised that they have not been registered, and that any payments made will be subject to a deduction. This deduction will be at the higher rate if the subcontractor has not already previously registered for net payment status (payment under deduction).
You will be presented with a dialog box advising that the system will run a TTQT (Compliance Test). Once complete the system will notify the applicant of the outcome of the gross payment application. The system will record if the application has been successful. Where the application has failed the system will record all the reasons for failure. The applicant will receive form CIS308 detailing all the reasons why the gross payment application has failed.
