Construction Industry Scheme Compliance And Advice

Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a tax deduction scheme which involves tax being deducted at source from customer receipts and payments to suppliers for construction works.

Determining the correct CIS treatment can be a minefield and it is your responsibility to ensure the correct tax has been deducted. Failure to do so can result in HMRC chasing you for any lost taxes which can be substantial, along with fines and penalties.

We can also assist with achieving and maintaining ‘Gross Status’ so you do not suffer any tax deductions on your receipts, which can be highly beneficial to your cash flow.

VAT Compliance And Advice

With special VAT rules for construction it can be difficult to determine the correct VAT rates, because not only can they change from job to job but you also need to consider any ‘Blocked’ input VAT within your supply.

As experts in property and construction we can advise you on the correct VAT rates and how to ensure you are maximising your VAT efficiency whilst remaining compliant. In addition HMRC are planning to introduce a reverse VAT charge for the construction industry, effectively operating as a tax deduction scheme similar to that of CIS.

We also assist with VAT on stage payments and retentions to ensure you are paying the correct amount of VAT within the required deadlines.
