Primary query: CIS nil return or inactivity request decision tool 2026 · Updated 2026-09-07
What the free app does
One bounded job, before payment.
Record whether any subcontractor payments were made in the CIS month and whether a valid temporary inactivity route is being used. The app produces a bounded monthly-close recommendation and evidence note; it does not file anything with HMRC.
Free browser-local proof
Result
NIL RETURNNil return path indicated
No subcontractor payments are recorded and no inactivity route is selected. Treat the period as a nil-return control and verify the live HMRC filing position before the deadline.
No signup. No external submission. Inputs stay in this browser session unless your browser itself persists them.

- — Use the live HMRC service and current guidance for the actual filing or inactivity notification.
