Find the Best Construction & CIS Accountants in the UK
The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) creates additional compliance requirements for contractors and subcontractors that general accountants may not handle routinely. CIS accountants manage monthly CIS returns, verify subcontractors, handle CIS deduction statements, reclaim CIS deductions against PAYE or Corporation Tax, and advise on the employment-status boundary that determines whether a worker should be on payroll or under CIS. They also understand the practical realities of the construction sector: project-based invoicing, materials cost tracking, plant and machinery capital allowances, and sector-specific VAT rules like the domestic reverse charge.

Construction & CIS FAQs
What is the CIS scheme and does it apply to me?
The Construction Industry Scheme requires contractors in the construction industry to deduct tax at source from payments to subcontractors and pay it to HMRC. If you are a subcontractor in construction, your clients may deduct 20% (or 30% if you are not registered) from your payments.
How do I reclaim CIS deductions?
Sole trader subcontractors reclaim CIS deductions through their Self Assessment return. Limited company subcontractors offset CIS deductions against their PAYE/NI liabilities. If the deductions exceed the liability, you can claim the difference back from HMRC.
What is the VAT reverse charge for construction?
The domestic VAT reverse charge for construction services means that the customer (not the supplier) accounts for the VAT on supplies of specified construction services. This applies between VAT-registered businesses that are not end users. Your accountant needs to identify which invoices fall under the reverse charge.
