CIS Tax

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a tax regulation enforced by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK. It applies specifically to the construction industry, requiring contractors to deduct a percentage of payments to subcontractors as an advance payment towards their tax and National Insurance contributions. This system ensures tax compliance within the sector and reduces the risk of tax evasion. Contractors must accurately calculate and report these deductions to HMRC, while subcontractors need to ensure they are properly registered to benefit from lower deduction rates.

 

As CIS involves strict compliance requirements and frequent regulatory updates, professional assistance is often necessary.

A CIS Tax Accountant plays a crucial role in guiding both contractors and subcontractors through the process, ensuring they meet all obligations and avoid penalties. This includes managing accurate record-keeping, calculating deductions correctly, submitting monthly returns, claiming allowable expenses, and making timely payments to HMRC. Additionally, accountants help with year-end accounts, tax returns, and strategic tax planning to minimise liabilities.

How Capital Counts Can Help with CIS Deductions

 

CIS deductions are a fundamental aspect of the scheme, requiring contractors to deduct a percentage of subcontractor payments and pass it on to HMRC. Registered subcontractors typically face a 20% deduction, whereas unregistered subcontractors are subject to a 30% deduction. Calculating these deductions accurately, especially when dealing with multiple subcontractors and projects, can be challenging. Capital Counts specialises in simplifying this process, ensuring contractors meet all HMRC requirements while avoiding costly mistakes.

Beyond ensuring compliance, Capital Counts assists in maintaining accurate records of all deductions, preparing and submitting necessary monthly returns to HMRC. This structured approach reduces administrative burdens and ensures hassle-free tax management. Their services extend beyond compliance, offering strategic tax advice to optimise financial planning.
