DMBM524740 - Debt and return pursuit: CIS: cessations

Some content of this manual is being considered for archiving. If there is content you use regularly, please email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know as soon as possible.

If you are advised that a CIS scheme has ceased ask if this also applies to the PAYE element of the scheme.

If the scheme has ceased for both PAYE and CIS the procedures for the PAYE remain unchanged. The procedures for CIS are different because the CIS 36 has been replaced by the CIS monthly returns. When the total tax and NIC outstanding is calculated, the figures from the FPS have to be added to the details from the individual CIS monthly return figures.

If any CIS returns or CIS penalties are outstanding for return periods up to the date of the cessation these must be pursued.

Any penalties which have not been paid up to the date of cessation should be pursued as normal.
