Monthly returns, verification, deduction statements and refunds. See our CIS accountants page.

The domestic reverse charge catches out a lot of trades businesses. We set up Xero so invoices and returns are right.
Expenses and allowances
Vans, tools, protective clothing, mileage and subsistence claimed correctly, with capital allowances on equipment.

Construction accountant FAQs
- Can you get my CIS deductions back?
- Yes. For sole traders we claim them through your tax return. For limited companies we offset them against PAYE or claim a repayment.
- Do I charge VAT on my invoices to a main contractor?
- Often not. The domestic reverse charge means many VAT-registered subcontractors invoice without VAT and the contractor accounts for it. We check each case.
- Can I claim for my van?
- Yes, either the actual costs and capital allowances, or simplified mileage rates if you qualify. We work out which is better.
