Tradespeople running their own businesses face the full range of responsibilities from quoting jobs and sourcing materials to managing invoices and tax returns.
The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) requires contractors to deduct tax at source from subcontractors. While this system is meant to simplify tax, it often leads to over deductions meaning many subcontractors are owed a tax rebate each year. Getting your finances right is key to growing and staying compliant.
Why You Need an Accountant:
Many subcontractors rely on DIY tax apps or smart calculators, but these often miss out on vital tax reliefs and expense claims or worse, risk under claiming or triggering HMRC errors. A professional accountant ensures your CIS tax return is filed correctly, includes every allowable expense and gets you the full refund you're entitled to. With your trade keeping you on-site and hands on, our job is to take care of the paperwork properly.
Self-Employed or Limited Company?
Most CIS subcontractors operate as self employed, but those who grow their trade, take on staff, or want tax efficiency may benefit from a limited company structure.
