No. But it is highly recommended. If you are a subcontractor working for a CIS registered contractor, you should be registered with HMRC. If not, the contractor will deduct tax at a higher rate. Being registered allows you to pay tax at the standard rate, which can save you money. We can help you get registered and avoid unnecessary deductions.

Yes. CIS is a tax system used in construction, while being self employed means you work for yourself and manage your own taxes. If you are self employed and working in construction.
