0s and 1s
Registry code: d09cbfaef014d985
Calculators for the UK Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), for contractors who pay subcontractors. Money in is pounds ("1,200.00" or 1200); money out is { pence, pounds }. Dates are YYYY-MM-DD; pass today's date where a tool asks for it. Each answer lists its GOV.UK and legislation.gov.uk sources. Answers follow the published rules; they are not tax advice and do not come from HMRC.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.
cis_deduction unknown never probed
Works out the CIS deduction on a payment to a subcontractor, from the gross bill to the net payment. Takes the gross including VAT, the VAT, the subcontractor's materials and the rate (0, 20 or 30). VAT is never taxed under CIS and materials come off before the rate applies; the deduction is rounded down to the penny. Returns each step of the working, money in pence and pounds. Does not cover retentions, or decide which rate applies (verify the subcontractor with HMRC for that).
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "gross", "rate" ], "properties": { "vat": { "type": "string", "description": "The VAT within the gross. Leave out or 0 under the domestic reverse charge. Pounds, as a string like \"1,200.00\" or a number like 1200." }, "rate": { "enum": [ 0, 20, 30 ], "type": "integer", "description": "The subcontractor's CIS rate in per cent: 20 if registered, 30 if not registered or unmatched when verified, 0 for gross payment status" }, "gross": { "type": "string", "description": "The amount being paid, including any VAT, before the CIS deduction. Pounds, as a string like \"1,200.00\" or a number like 1200." }, "materials": { "type": "string", "description": "What the subcontractor paid for materials, plant hire, consumables and fuel (not travel) on the job. Without VAT if the subcontractor is VAT registered, with it if not. Pounds, as a string like \"1,200.00\" or a number like 1200." } } }arguments 30 linescis_gross_up unknown never probed
Finds the gross amount (excluding VAT) that leaves a given net payment after the CIS deduction, for a subcontractor quoted a take-home figure. Takes the net, the subcontractor's materials and the rate (0, 20 or 30). Where rounding lets two grosses give the same net, the larger is returned so CIS is never under-deducted. Returns the forward working on that gross, money in pence and pounds. VAT is not included; add it on top if the subcontractor charges it.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "net", "rate" ], "properties": { "net": { "type": "string", "description": "The payment the subcontractor should receive after the CIS deduction, excluding VAT. Pounds, as a string like \"1,200.00\" or a number like 1200." }, "rate": { "enum": [ 0, 20, 30 ], "type": "integer", "description": "The subcontractor's CIS rate in per cent: 20 if registered, 30 if not registered or unmatched when verified, 0 for gross payment status" }, "materials": { "type": "string", "description": "The subcontractor's materials within the payment, as for cis_deduction. Pounds, as a string like \"1,200.00\" or a number like 1200." } } }arguments 26 linescis_tax_month unknown never probed
For a date, gives the CIS tax month it falls in (the 6th to the 5th), the tax year, the date the monthly return (CIS300) is due (the 19th, also the date for paying HMRC by any means other than electronically), and the date for paying HMRC electronically (the 22nd, moved back to the banking day before when the 22nd is a weekend or an England and Wales bank holiday). Bank holidays are known to bank_holidays_known_until; after that only weekends move the date.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "date" ], "properties": { "date": { "type": "string", "description": "Any date, such as a payment date or today, YYYY-MM-DD" } } }arguments 12 linescis_late_penalties unknown never probed
Works out the late filing penalties on one monthly CIS return under Finance Act 2009 Schedule 55: £100 the day after the 19th, £200 at 2 months, then the greater of £300 and 5% of the deductions at 6 and at 12 months (5% alone for a first return). Takes the tax year and month, the filing date or none, today's date, the deductions and whether a return had been filed before. Returns each penalty with its date and whether it is charged, avoided or still to come. Does not cover deliberate withholding, interest on late payment, or appeals.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "tax_year", "tax_month", "as_at" ], "properties": { "as_at": { "type": "string", "description": "Today's date.

Leave out or 0 for a nil return. Pounds, as a string like \"1,200.00\" or a number like 1200." }, "filed_before": { "type": "boolean", "description": "true if the contractor had already filed a CIS return before this one was due (the usual case). false for the first return, which has no £300 minimum" } } }arguments 34 linescis_gross_payment_turnover_test unknown never probed
Checks the turnover test for CIS gross payment status (Finance Act 2004 Schedule 11, SI 2005/2045 reg 28): £30,000 net construction turnover for a sole trader; for a partnership or company, the lower of £30,000 for each partner or relevant person and £100,000. In a close company, shareholders count as well as directors. Returns the figure needed by each route, which one applies, and how far short. Covers the turnover test only, not the business test or the compliance test.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "business_type", "net_turnover" ], "properties": { "partners": { "type": "integer", "description": "Partnership only: the number of partners, the highest at any one time in the 12 months" }, "directors": { "type": "integer", "description": "Company only: the number of directors, the highest at any one time in the 12 months" }, "net_turnover": { "type": "string", "description": "Construction turnover for the last 12 months, less VAT and the cost of materials. Pounds, as a string like \"1,200.00\" or a number like 1200." }, "shareholders": { "type": "integer", "description": "Close company only: shareholders who are not also directors, each counted once" }, "business_type": { "enum": [ "sole-trader", "partnership", "company" ], "type": "string", "description": "The subcontractor's business: sole-trader, partnership or company" }, "close_company": { "type": "boolean", "description": "Company only: true if it is a close company (controlled by 5 or fewer people, or by its directors)" } } }arguments 38 linescis_needs_verification unknown never probed
Says whether a contractor must verify a subcontractor with HMRC before paying them (SI 2005/2045 reg 6): not needed if the subcontractor was on one of this contractor's CIS returns, or was verified by this contractor, in the tax year of the payment or the two before. Takes the payment date, the tax years the subcontractor was on a return and the last verification date, all supplied by the caller. Does not contact HMRC or verify anyone, and does not cover group companies or business transfers.
{ "type": "object", "required": [ "payment_date" ], "properties": { "payment_date": { "type": "string", "description": "The date of the payment about to be made, YYYY-MM-DD" }, "last_verified_on": { "type": "string", "description": "The date this contractor last verified the subcontractor with HMRC, if ever, YYYY-MM-DD" }, "included_on_return_in_tax_years": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "integer" }, "description": "Tax years (by the year each starts in) in which this contractor included the subcontractor on a CIS return. An array, or comma-separated like \"2025,2026\"" } } }arguments 23 linescis_nil_return_check unknown never probed
Says whether a contractor must file a CIS nil return for a tax month (SI 2005/2045 reg 4(9A) and (9B), inserted by SI 2026/289 from 6 April 2026): due when a mainstream contractor that has paid subcontractors before pays none that month, unless it told HMRC no later than 14 days before the month started. Takes the tax year and month and yes or no answers. Returns whether a nil return is due, why, and the date it is due. Does not file anything.

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.
Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.
An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.
MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
