Sounds a bit iffy, if they're taking CIS deductions where maybe they shouldn't be.  Kind of depends what your relationship with them is (or what you want it to be in the future.) 

 

If it was me, and I was sure CIS shouldn't be deducted, after checking with CIS helpline, I'd offer them the opportunity to put their case to small claims court after giving notice of action for recovery of unpaid invoices...  But I'm sure they will be subtler ways of resolving it!!   

 

 

I went for the subtler option and basically said that I don't think CIS is applicable and they are going to ask HMRC, so should be good! I try to leave court appearances for unpaid speeding tickets

Good approach. If you're unsure, why not speak to HMRC yourself and see what advice they give. In my own experience I've never been deducted CIS while subbying as a tree surgeon. I wouldn't have it personally and wouldn't work for a company that insisted on it unless they're a construction company.
