CIS Tax Returns
The current Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) was introduced to handle the taxes of self-employed contractors within the construction industry. It covers any work carried out within the UK and includes work such as bricklaying, plastering, decorating, and extensions.
If you’ve registered for CIS, your taxation rate will be 20%. If you haven’t registered, it rises 30%. To ensure you’re paying the correct amount of tax, you must complete and submit a CIS tax return. CIS is a complex area and as a result many contractors have overpaid their CIS tax returns in recent years and are due tax rebates. If you think you may be one of them, call us today to speak to one of our advisers.
