Construction Information -New CIS factsheets now available in 12 languages
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has now
published factsheets in a number of languages, to help
subcontractors when the New Construction Industry Scheme (New
CIS) starts on 6 April 2007. These are available on the HMRC
website.
The factsheets have been translated into Albanian, Bulgarian,
Czech, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese,
Romanian, Russian, Slovakian and Turkish.
Doug Tweddle, HMRC New CIS Programme Sponsor, said:
"All sub-contractors in the construction industry need to know
how the changes after 6 April will affect them; both in terms of
their employment status when they are taken on by a contractor
and how they
are paid.
"We recognise that a growing proportion of construction industry
subcontractors do not have English as a first language and we
are pleased to be able to help them understand the new
arrangements by making available factsheets in a language they
will be fluent in".
The factsheets that have been translated are:
* CIS 342 - Registering for New CIS - advice for subcontractors
* CIS 343 - Applying to be paid gross - advice for
subcontractors
* CIS 344 - Getting paid by a contractor - advice for
subcontractors
