Frequently asked questions

What is a CIS Tax Return and who needs to file one?

A CIS Tax Return is a report submitted to HMRC under the Construction Industry Scheme. Contractors and subcontractors in construction must file these returns monthly to report payments and deductions. Filing correctly ensures compliance and helps reclaim overpaid tax.

How can an ACCA or ICAEW accountant help with CIS returns?

ACCA and ICAEW accountants have specialist training in tax legislation, including the Construction Industry Scheme. They ensure your CIS returns are accurate, help you claim allowable expenses, and manage interactions with HMRC to prevent penalties and reduce your tax liability.

Do I need separate accounts for my limited company and CIS work?

Yes, if you operate through a limited company, you must maintain separate records for CIS deductions and prepare limited company annual accounts. A qualified accountant can integrate CIS data into your year-end accounts, ensuring compliance with Companies House and HMRC requirements.

Can I claim back overpaid CIS deductions on my Self Assessment?

Yes, if too much tax was deducted under CIS, you can reclaim the overpayment through your Self Assessment tax return. An accountant can analyse your deductions and ensure you receive any refund due, reducing your overall tax burden.

What happens if I miss a CIS return deadline?

Missing a CIS return deadline results in automatic penalties from HMRC, starting at £100 for up to one month late and increasing over time. Using a professional accountant helps you stay organised and submit returns on time, avoiding unnecessary fines.
