CIS Tax Rebate; CIS stands for Construction Industry Scheme, which is a tax deduction scheme in the United Kingdom that applies to payments made by contractors to subcontractors in the construction industry. Here are the key points about CIS tax:

  1. Why?: The Construction Industry Scheme is designed to ensure that subcontractors in the construction industry pay the correct amount of tax and National Insurance contributions. It aims to prevent tax evasion and ensure that individuals working in construction are properly taxed.
  2. Who is Covered: The scheme applies to contractors and subcontractors involved in construction work in the UK. Contractors are businesses or individuals who pay subcontractors for construction work. Subcontractors are individuals or businesses hired by contractors to carry out construction work.
  3. Tax Deductions: Under CIS, contractors are required to deduct money from payments made to subcontractors and send it to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The deduction rates vary depending on whether the subcontractor is registered with HMRC for CIS and whether they have gross payment status. Registered subcontractors typically have deductions made at 20%, while those with gross payment status have no deductions made.
  4. Verification and Registration: Both contractors and subcontractors need to register with HMRC for CIS. Contractors are responsible for verifying the subcontractors they hire before making payments to them. This involves checking the subcontractor’s registration status with HMRC and confirming their identity.
  5. Reporting Obligations: Contractors are required to submit monthly CIS returns to HMRC, detailing the payments made to subcontractors and the deductions made. Subcontractors must also keep records of the payments they receive and any deductions made.
  6. Compliance and Penalties: Failure to comply with CIS requirements can result in penalties from HMRC. This includes penalties for late CIS returns, incorrect deductions, and failure to verify subcontractors.
  7. Changes and Updates: The rules and regulations governing CIS tax may change over time, so it’s important for contractors and subcontractors to stay updated with the latest requirements from HMRC.

Overall, CIS tax is an important aspect of taxation in the construction industry in the UK, aimed at ensuring that tax obligations are met by both contractors and subcontractors involved in construction work, you can find out more information by visiting HMRC directly www.gov.uk/what-is-the-construction-industry-scheme

How much rebate will I receive?

Our clients receive on average around £2,400 tax rebate, but this does vary on a person by person basis.

Do you take a “cut” of my rebate?

No we do not, whatever your rebate is, it’s 100% yours to keep.  As traditional accountants, we charge for our tax return calculation service, but our fee does not increase the higher your rebate is, we don’t feel that’s fair to work any other way.

I’ve found a company on google who offer a tax rebate much higher than yours!

We take into account your particular circumstances and your actual expenditure, there has been a lot of publicity about some accountancy firms offering inflated tax rebates based on made up figures.  At first glance, you might receive a rebate from HMRC, however they do investigate claims in the longer term and where there are mistakes, require you to repay your tax rebate in full, with interest!
