Following the introduction of the construction industry scheme reform measures in April 2007, HMRC have decided to close the following helplines: the CIS orderline, the subcontractors helpline, and the contractors helpline.
The subcontractors helpline closed on 21 August 2007. Callers ringing this number now hear a message advising them to call the new CIS helpline (0845 366 7899) for enquiries about construction industry work undertaken since 6 April 2007 or the self-assessment helpline (0845 900 0444) for enquiries about construction industry work done before 6 April 2007 or regarding the completion of their tax return.
HMRC will announce dates for the closure of the CIS orderline and contractors helpline in due course.
