Hi Stevenstill79,
Please have a look at the guidance for the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).
If the nature of your work is covered by the Construction Industry Scheme and the company is a registered contractor withing th CIS scheme, then they should be deducting tax from your payments.
If you are not registered as a sub contractor, then tax is deducted at a higher rate (30%) than it would be if you were registered (20%).
If you do not meet the criteria for the CIS, then they do not have to deduct tax from your payments.
