CIS Accountant Salisbury
Construction Industry Scheme support for Salisbury contractors and subcontractors who need the deductions, returns and records handled correctly and efficiently.
Practical CIS support for construction businesses
The Construction Industry Scheme creates different responsibilities for contractors making payments and subcontractors receiving them. Caboodle helps Salisbury construction businesses understand which role applies, maintain the required records and complete the accounting and tax work connected with CIS.
For contractors, that can include verification, deduction calculations and monthly returns. For subcontractors, it can include checking deduction statements, preparing accounts and tax returns, and calculating whether too much tax has been deducted.
What Caboodle can handle
The exact scope is agreed around your business. It can include:
- CIS registration guidance for contractors and subcontractors
- Verification of subcontractors and application of deduction rates
- Preparation and submission of monthly contractor CIS returns
- Records and statements for subcontractor deductions
- Support with contractor or subcontractor HMRC correspondence
- Accounts and tax returns incorporating CIS income and deductions
- Review and submission of eligible CIS repayment claims
- Bookkeeping, payroll and VAT support for construction businesses
Different support for contractors and subcontractors
A contractor must establish whether CIS applies, verify relevant subcontractors, calculate deductions and report payments. A subcontractor needs complete statements and records so deductions are credited correctly against the final tax position. Businesses can sometimes operate in both roles.
Caboodle starts by understanding the contracts, payment flow and existing registrations. Employment-status and CIS questions can be fact-sensitive, so the commercial arrangements need to be understood rather than judged from a job title alone.
How the service works
1. Establish the CIS role
We confirm whether the business pays subcontractors, receives CIS deductions or does both, and review existing registrations.
2. Set up the records
The process for verification, payment information, deduction statements and monthly records is agreed.
3. Complete returns or accounts
Caboodle handles the agreed monthly contractor work or incorporates subcontractor deductions into accounts and tax returns.
4. Resolve differences
Missing statements, HMRC mismatches or repayment questions are identified and addressed using the available evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Do you help both CIS contractors and subcontractors?
Yes. The work is different for each role, so Caboodle agrees a service based on whether you make payments, receive deductions or do both.
Can you submit monthly CIS returns?
Yes. Caboodle can verify subcontractors, calculate relevant deductions and submit monthly returns from complete payment information supplied on time.
Can subcontractors claim a CIS tax refund?
A repayment may arise where deductions exceed the final tax liability, but it is not automatic. Accounts, expenses, deduction records and the wider tax position must be calculated first.
What if my CIS deductions do not match HMRC’s records?
We can compare deduction statements and accounting records with the HMRC position, identify missing evidence and support the process of resolving the discrepancy.
