Under the Construction Industry Scheme, contractors deduct tax from a subcontractor's pay and send it to HMRC. Because that deduction is taken before any expenses are counted, most subcontractors have paid too much tax by the end of the year, and are due a refund.
We gather your CIS deduction statements, work out your allowable expenses such as tools, travel and materials, prepare your Self Assessment return, and claim back the difference. Many subcontractors are pleasantly surprised by how much they are owed.
What is included
- CIS deduction statements reconciled
- Allowable expenses calculated
- Self Assessment return prepared
- Refund claimed from HMRC
- Mileage and tools reviewed
- A clear figure of what you get back
Who it is for
This service is for self employed subcontractors in construction who have tax deducted under CIS, including bricklayers, joiners, electricians, plasterers, labourers and groundworkers.
If you have never claimed a refund before, or you have used someone who did not claim your expenses properly, we will make sure your next claim is right.
Because CIS tax is deducted before expenses, the majority of subcontractors have overpaid and are due a refund once their return is done properly.
