CIS statement redaction is the removal of personal identifiers from a Construction Industry Scheme deduction slip, the record a contractor gives a subcontractor under the Income Tax (PAYE) Regs 2003. anonym.plus marks the Unique Taxpayer Reference, name, and amount on your device, so the figures stay clear while the data goes.
When this applies
A CIS slip prints a subcontractor name, UTR, and the tax deducted in set boxes. You trim those entries before the record reaches an analyst or partner.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the slip in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned copy if needed.
- The tool flags the UTR, name, and deduction total.
- Confirm each flag and keep the box codes intact.
- Swap or black out the marked entries.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The slip (PDF, image scan, or DOCX).
- An operator (Mask suits the UTR box).
- Optional batch for a stack of files.

Limitations & cautions
A subcontractor with a rare deduction can be guessed even after the UTR goes. The tool flags named items, not every indirect clue. Review the totals before you share it.
Frequently asked questions

Under the Construction Industry Scheme, a contractor gives each subcontractor a record of tax deducted, kept within the Income Tax (PAYE) Regs 2003. anonym.plus removes the personal identifiers printed on it.
Can I clean many at once?
Yes. Batch mode handles up to 20 files per local run, with OCR for scanned copies.
Is it uploaded?
No. The desktop app is offline, so the slip stays on your device.
