How long does CIS setup take?

About 3 weeks ago I sent off the online form to register our company as a sub-contractor. I have since applied for payroll and also to pay subcontractors. The PAYE/paying subcontractors bit is being set up and I can view the date it should be setup by. However, the paper form that I had to post off when applying to register our company for CIS gave no indication as to how I could chase it up. I sent to form to PT Operations, BX9 1BX. Any idea what the timescales are?

Hi,

If you contact the CIS team, the adviser will take you through security then view the CIS record to check the current position (you will need to quote your UTR).

Construction Industry Scheme: general enquiries

If it is just a registration for CIS as a sub-contractor, the adviser may be able to complete this process over the phone.

You sent the form to the right address, so the adviser may also be able to confirm its receipt.

Thank you.
