The CITB Consensus is underway and FIS members who are likely to pay the Construction Industry Levy as proposed by CITB for 2026 to 2029 are invited to have their say by participating in the Consensus Survey. The deadline for response is 9 May 2025.
The proposals for raising and collecting the Levy for the next 3 years (2026 – 2029) are:
• A PAYE payroll contribution of 0.35% and
• A net CIS contribution of 1.25%.
• Employers with an annual wage bill of less than £150k will be exempt; and
• Employers with an annual wage bill of between £150k and £500k will receive a 50% deduction on the Levy assessment, meaning employers will only pay the full assessment if their annual wage bill is £500k or above.
• No other Levy Exemptions Schemes shall apply.
FIS is a ‘Prescribed Organisation’ which means that we are required to formally consult members on the Levy proposals put forward by CITB and respond collectively on their behalf.
To this end, we are asking members to complete our short survey – it should only take 5 minutes to complete. Only the views of those contractors likely to pay levy will be counted in the consensus vote.
