    I have been sent some gobbledegook by a customer to fill in and one of the questions is…
    "Are you CIS registered, if NO provide a letter of disclaimer on original letterhead outlining the service provided"

    Now I am a bit thick in these departments an I am not CIS registered so can anyone please tell me what it is that they want in writing. I am only supplying them with a few simple safety signs, no fixing just delivering. 🙄

    I would just explain that you are only supplying and not installing but do it in writing on letter headed paper. No doubt the time spent doing this will eat into the profit on this job. 🙄

    We have done similar for 2 companies on the same group for a single small order. I may have well given them a tenner and sent them elsewhere 👿 🙄

    Mike this is taken from the CIS booklet:-

    The ‘Construction Industry Scheme: Guide for Contractors and Subcontractors‘ (HMRC Ref: CIS340)

    Appendix A
    A.42: Sign-writing and signboards (1)
    Sign-writing and work related to signboards and advertising boards is excluded from the Scheme. This exclusion is very
    specific and does not extend to traffic signs or street furniture.

    Appendix C
    In Page 69, under Operations Excluded, the guide says:
    Signwriting and erecting, installation and repair of signboards and advertisements
