How do I check the status of my CIS refund?

How do I check the status of my CIS refund? For a 2025-26 refund, sign in to your HMRC online account and look for a refund shown as pending or as credit. If nothing has arrived 14 weeks after you claimed, call the Self Assessment helpline on 0300 200 3310. Yes. As a sole trader your CIS refund is part of your Self Assessment, so sign in to your HMRC online account. While HMRC processes it, the refund may show as available credit or as pending. GOV.UK says pending means the refund has been created but still needs to be approved and paid. It does not mean anything has gone wrong. For the refund itself, the Self Assessment helpline on 0300 200 3310. For general questions about the Construction Industry Scheme, the CIS helpline on 0300 200 3210. Both are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Read the full answer, with every source, at rightotax.co.uk.
