How we help tradespeople & CIS
If you work in construction, the Construction Industry Scheme means tax is often deducted from your pay before you receive it — and many subcontractors are owed a refund. We prepare your tax return, claim back overpaid CIS deductions and make sure your van, tools and materials are claimed correctly.
For contractors who pay subcontractors, we handle monthly CIS returns, verification and statements so you stay on the right side of HMRC's penalty regime.
Common challenges we solve
- Claiming back overpaid CIS deductions
- Monthly CIS returns and subcontractor verification
- Claiming vans, tools and protective clothing

Frequently asked questions
Can you get my CIS refund?
If more tax was deducted under CIS than you owe for the year, the difference is repaid when your tax return is processed. We'll calculate it and file promptly so you get it sooner.
Do you file monthly CIS returns?
Yes. If you pay subcontractors we verify them with HMRC, file your monthly CIS300 returns and issue payment and deduction statements.
Can I claim my van?
Vans used for your work are generally claimable through capital allowances or simplified expenses. We'll use whichever method gives the better result.
