Services for your candidates

Churchill Knight CIS is the ideal service for self-employed professionals working in construction. When your candidates register to our CIS service, they will remain self-employed (sole trader). We will process their pay per HMRC regulations, deduct 20% (or 30% if they are not CIS registered), and send it to HMRC on account.

Our CIS service makes it easy for self-employed professionals to be paid compliantly. Alongside compliant payroll, your candidates will benefit from the following:

• Our CIS service is the best option for CIS sole traders as it’s efficient, requires minimal administration, and registration is easy.
• Churchill Knight Umbrella will help your candidates get paid compliantly and on time.
• Our CIS service is one of the most competitive sole trader payroll services in the marketplace, offering excellent value for money for your candidates.
• Our sister company, Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd, has a dedicated self-assessment tax return department to help your candidates prepare and file their tax returns. And – a special discount is available for all Churchill Knight Umbrella CIS workers!
• Ongoing support from our dedicated Onboarding and Customer Service teams every step of the way.
• All payments are made using Faster Payments, which means your candidates will be paid the same day we receive funds.
• Our friendly team can help your candidates register for CIS and obtain a UTR number if they are new to the construction industry.
• There is no tie-in period. Our small margin only applies when we process a payment for your candidates; they will not be charged for weeks when they don’t work.

Limited company accountancy

Operating through a limited company is usually the most tax-efficient way for contractors to operate if they are deemed outside IR35. Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd’s limited company accountancy provides contractors and freelancers with tailored tax planning and ongoing support. It removes the worry of complicated administration and filing deadlines associated with becoming the director of their limited company.

Self-assessment tax returns

Our sister company, Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd, has a dedicated Personal Tax team that will handle everything for your candidates. From completing the forms, calculating their tax liability or tax refund, and verifying all the information before submitting the self-assessment tax return to HMRC. Busy modern lives often leave us with less and less time to handle everything ourselves, particularly when it comes to time-consuming administration and filing requirements. Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd takes away the stress and worry of filing a tax return – leaving your candidates more time to focus on the more important things in life.
