Why should I prepare a CIS return?

It's a UK statutory requirement

If you are a contractor and you hire subcontractors to undertake any of the following work:

  • preparing the site, e.g. laying foundations and providing access works 
  • demolition and dismantling
  • building work
  • alterations, repairs and decorating
  • installing systems for heating, lighting, power, water and ventilation
  • cleaning the inside of buildings after construction work

then it is a statutory requirement that you deduct tax from your subcontractors pay and prepare a CIS return on a monthly basis for each tax month.
