CIS tax returns.
Clear from the start.

Yes, as a sole trader working under CIS you still report your income and deductions through Self Assessment. The deductions are advance payments towards your tax, rather than a final calculation of what you owe.

No. We calculate your position using the relevant income, allowable costs and deductions. Depending on the figures and your wider circumstances, there may be a refund or more tax to pay. We’ll explain the outcome before you approve the return.

Tell us about the costs of doing your work and provide the supporting records. We’ll review the relevant business expenses and explain how they should be treated. Personal spending is not automatically allowable just because you work under CIS.

Tell us which contractors and periods are involved. We’ll explain the evidence needed and help you identify gaps. You may need replacement statements from the contractors who paid you before the deductions can be confirmed.

Tell us about all your income for the tax year, including work outside CIS and any employment. We’ll bring the relevant figures and tax already paid into your return.

No. A company reports CIS deductions suffered through its payroll scheme using an Employer Payment Summary, rather than reclaiming them on a personal return or through its Corporation Tax return. We’ll agree the appropriate company support separately.

No. This service focuses on the annual tax return for a self-employed subcontractor. If you pay subcontractors, tell us: verification, deduction statements and monthly contractor returns involve separate work. We’ll discuss the support and scope you need.

We’ll confirm the fee after reviewing your records, income sources and the work required. Earlier-year returns, catch-up bookkeeping and ongoing reporting are agreed separately. Any refund timing depends on HMRC processing and checks.
