CIS Tax Returns Accountants

Working through the Construction Industry Scheme? We’ll take care of your Self Assessment tax returns.

What Is A CIS Tax Return?

If you’re working via the Construction Industry Scheme, you will need to submit a tax return to disclose your earnings for the financial year.

The deadlines for CIS tax returns is the same for all other tax returns – 31st January.

If you’re a contractor who pays subcontractors, you’ll need to file your returns to HMRC by the 19th of every month following the last tax month.

What Expenses Can I Claim For?

A key part of working with the Self Assessment system is understanding what expenses you can claim for. This is an area where a lot of people on Self Assessment miss out, and end up paying too much tax. Examples of allowable expenses in construction include:

Work travel costs

Essential tools and equipment

Materials you need for work

General costs of running your business, from stationery to advertising

Accountancy fees

These are the essential costs of doing business, and they count against the income you’re being taxed on.

CIS Tax Returns

For people in the building trade, CIS tax returns are a fact of life. Making a mistake when filing your CIS tax return online could lead to you paying way too much tax on your pay. Here at CloudAccountant, our experts are on hand to manage your CIS tax returns hassle-free.

Getting paid through the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) means that your contractor has to take out a substantial amount of your pay before you get it. This money then goes straight to the HMRC, and is supposed to act as “advance payment” toward the tax and National Insurance you’ll owe. This is the law, and your contractor doesn’t have any choice about it.

For the subcontractor, this can be pretty painful. Effectively, you’re being taxed right from the first penny you earn, without getting your tax-free Personal Allowance. This is supposed to help crack down on tax evasion in the construction industry, but it means that honest subcontractors end up carrying the load.

The good news is that you can claim back the extra tax you’ve paid in your Self Assessment tax return. Despite having 20% of your money taken by HMRC, you still have to file a return. If you’ve paid too much tax, you’ll get this back as a tax refund.
