CIS – partnership registration
About this form

Who needs to register?
If your business operates as a subcontractor in the construction industry it needs to register for the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).
Who is this form for?
Use this form if you are a partnership and want to register as a subcontractor in the construction industry.
Only 1 partner can fill in this form – that person will be known as the ‘registering partner’. It is up to the partnership to decide who the registering partner is. Both the partnership and registering partner must already be registered for Self-Assessment and have a Unique Tax Reference (UTR).
You may operate as a joint venture, which is a business started by 2 or more people who share ownership of the operation of a project, including its resulting profits or losses. The new joint venture formed for the project must register for the construction industry scheme.
You may want to show this form to your tax adviser if you have one.
