Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) Penalty and Appeal system 14 May 2015
From mid June 2015 Contractors and their authorised representatives will be able to use HMRC’s Online Penalty Appeal Service (PAS) to make an electronic appeal against CIS late-filing penalties.
The CIPP Policy Team is a member of HMRC’s Construction Industry Scheme Operational Forum (CISOF) and part of the work that has been taking place is the introduction of a CIS online appeals service. To follow is an update on the new system.
Appealing online against a Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) late-filing penalty using the Penalty and Appeals Service (PAS)
What is the change? From 16 June 2015 Contractors and their authorised representatives will be able to use HMRC’s Online Penalty Appeal Service (PAS) to make an electronic appeal against CIS late-filing penalties. PAS will display the penalty details. We recommend that Contractors and representatives’ (using options in PAYE/CIS Online) sign up for this service as online is the quickest, easiest and most straightforward way to make an appeal. We will promptly deal with the appeal online providing Contractors or their representatives with an immediate acknowledgement. Only if the appeal is not accepted will it be referred for further review to an HMRC Officer.
How to make an appeal To make an online appeal, contractors or their agents should:
1. Go into the PAYE/CIS Online section of Online Services
2. Select ‘Appeal a Penalty’. Agents will find their clients’ details under “your current clients”.
‘Appeal a Penalty’ will list all the penalties that can be appealed, showing the:
o Unique ID (shown on the penalty notice o Type of penalty o Issue date (shown on the penalty notice) o Tax (Return) period end date o Amount of penalty
3. Select the Unique ID as shown on the penalty notice for the penalty that you wish to appeal
What will be displayed if there are no penalties to appeal? It will also tell you if there are no penalties that can be appealed, by stating either ‘You do not currently have any penalties that can be appealed’ or if you are a representative, ‘Your client does not currently have any penalties that can be appealed’
