Construction Industry Scheme Tax

CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) Services for Contractors and Subcontractors

Struggling with paperwork? You’re not alone—many builders find managing tax and admin a real challenge. That’s where the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) comes in. Under HMRC rules, both contractors and subcontractors in the construction sector must manage monthly tax deductions to stay compliant.

If you work in construction, CIS will almost certainly apply to your business. Whether you’re a contractor or a subcontractor, understanding your obligations—and acting on them—is key. Fortunately, we make the process simple, fast, and stress-free.

CIS Support for Subcontractors

We offer complete CIS support tailored to both sole traders and limited companies, helping you claim what’s yours and keep your cash flow healthy.

For Sole Traders

• We make sure the correct CIS tax deductions are claimed in your annual self-assessment tax return.

• As soon as the tax year ends, we prepare your return—so you receive any refund as quickly as possible.

• Our fast service helps you manage your cash flow and plan ahead with confidence.

For Limited Companies

• Each month, we submit your CIS returns to HMRC using the statements provided by your clients.

• Throughout the year, we monitor your CIS suffered balance to ensure accuracy.

• As soon as the tax year closes, we file an online claim to recover any CIS deductions owed—getting your money back quickly.

CIS Services for Contractors

If you pay subcontractors, your CIS obligations are more complex—but we’re here to manage them for you. Whether you’re a sole trader or run a limited company, we ensure your CIS submissions are accurate, complete, and always on time.

What We Do for Contractors

• We prepare and submit your returns to HMRC by the 19th of each month—helping you avoid the automatic £100 late filing penalty.

• We collect all relevant data from your bank statements and records, organise it, and compile your return efficiently.

• When you hire a new subcontractor, we verify them with HMRC and advise whether to deduct 20% or 30%.

• Each month, we provide clear CIS statements for your subcontractors—helping them track deductions and prepare their own claims.

CIS Case Studies: Real Clients, Real Results

Case Study: We Helped Remove £10,000 in CIS Penalties

A small business owner came to us in a panic. He hadn’t kept proper records or submitted his CIS returns to HMRC on time. One morning, he opened his post to find 72 letters from HMRC—demanding a total of £10,000 in penalties for non-compliance.

Naturally, he was overwhelmed. That’s when he called us.

We acted quickly. Thanks to our knowledge of CIS regulations and a few key technicalities, we were able to get the penalties cancelled entirely.

This case shows just how important compliance is under the Construction Industry Scheme—but also how vital it is to have the right support when things go wrong. Why risk the stress and financial pressure of non-compliance when expert help is only a phone call away?

Case Study: We Recovered £20,000 in Missed CIS Refunds

Another client, a contractor in the building industry, reached out to us with no idea he was entitled to any tax back. His previous accountant had been a management accountant—not a tax specialist—and unfortunately, she didn’t understand how CIS refunds work.

As a result, she had completely missed three years’ worth of CIS tax refunds.

We reviewed his records, re-submitted his tax returns, and successfully recovered £20,000 in CIS refunds that should have been claimed years earlier.

This experience highlights something crucial: not all accountants are the same. If you work in construction or subcontracting, you need an accountant who fully understands the Construction Industry Scheme—and how to maximise your entitlements.
