CIS Accountancy For The Construction Industry

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) can be one of the most complex areas of accounting for construction businesses. Whether you’re a contractor making payments to subcontractors or a subcontractor working under CIS deductions, it’s important to ensure everything is recorded and reported correctly. Under the scheme, contractors deduct tax from subcontractor payments and submit it to HMRC on their behalf.

At JTR Accountancy, we provide practical CIS support designed specifically for the construction industry, helping businesses remain compliant while reducing administration and avoiding costly mistakes.

CIS Services We Provide

At JTR Accountancy, we provide comprehensive CIS support for both contractors and subcontractors. Our services include assisting with CIS registration, verifying subcontractors, preparing and submitting monthly CIS returns, calculating deductions and maintaining accurate records. We can also help reconcile CIS payments, ensure compliance with HMRC requirements and provide ongoing advice on your tax obligations under the scheme.

Whether you’re a sole trader working on construction projects, a growing subcontractor or a contractor managing multiple workers, we can help simplify the administrative side of CIS, reduce the risk of errors and keep your business running smoothly. We also assist with CIS refund claims and repayments, helping to ensure you receive any tax you’re entitled to reclaim.

CIS For Builders, Trades & Construction Businesses

We work with a variety of construction businesses including:

Builders
Electricians
Plumbers
Roofers
Carpenters
Groundworkers
Bricklayers
General contractors and individuals

Because construction businesses operate differently from many other industries, we provide accountancy support that reflects the day-to-day realities of working on site and managing subcontractors.

Support For Contractors

If you operate as a contractor, you have several responsibilities under CIS. These include verifying subcontractors, applying the correct deduction rates, submitting monthly returns and paying deductions to HMRC. Contractors are also responsible for maintaining accurate records and providing payment and deduction statements.

By outsourcing your CIS administration, you can spend less time on paperwork and more time running your projects.

Support For Subcontractors

For subcontractors, CIS deductions are treated as advance payments towards tax and National Insurance liabilities. Registering correctly can help avoid higher deduction rates and ensure your records are properly maintained throughout the year.

Our aim is to ensure you’re claiming all allowable expenses and paying the correct amount of tax.
