CIS refunds in Nottingham
Nottingham's work runs through the city centre and the student blocks around it, with housing and industrial jobs spread across the county behind that. Between the two, most subbies here are changing sites regularly, and the tools travel with them.
The East Midlands runs on distribution sheds, housing and road work, and a lot of it is done by self-employed subbies moving between sites around Nottingham, Leicester and Derby. Under CIS, 20% is deducted at source whatever your real costs were.
