    Does CIS apply to maintenance and repair work?

    Just after a bit of advice... The majority of my work is domestic, contracted directly with the householder (no need for CIS). I also have a fair amount of work from buy-to-let landlords (again, no need for CIS) As I didn't think I would be involved in new-build work, I didn't register...
