Cannot enable CIS subcontractor on account. No tick box.

TravisPattersonLandscaping · ‎February 13, 2026

Hello,

I run a business that is both a CIS Contractor and a CIS Subcontractor.

I can deduct CIS from my subcontractors fine, all working on that end. The issue is that I cannot set customers as CIS Contractors. When I try to, it gives me this error:

It looks like we don't have your CIS rate. To track your CIS suffered, update your settings

On the article to set this up, it gives this instruction:

If you also operate as a subcontractor, tick the I am a CIS subcontractor box and select your deduction rate from the dropdown menu.

However, this is not an option for me. There is no tick boxes at all.
