Sole traders in construction

Hi

I know someone who is becoming self employed and will be working in the construction industry. I've said he needs to complete form CWF1 to register him as self employed and for Class 2, along with form CA5610 so he can pay his NIC by DD and the form for registering under the CIS scheme. I'm pretty sure that's everything he needs to do (he won't be turning over for VAT registration, nor will he be employing anyone). There aren't any additional bits of paperwork he would need to do for the Construction Industry Scheme are there?

Cheers

Yes, he needs to register under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) if he is going to work for contractors in the construction industry. Have a look at HMRC's website - there is loads of information about registering.
