HMRC-registered accountants for builders, bricklayers, groundworkers and construction firms, whether you are a CIS subcontractor, a contractor paying others, a sole trader or a limited company. CIS refunds and returns, materials, VAT reverse charge and payroll, all under one fixed fee.
Accountant for Builders, UK
Building work sits at the heart of CIS, and your tax position depends on which side you are on. As a subcontractor, 20% comes off your pay at source and once your van, materials, tools and labour costs are claimed you are usually owed a refund. As a contractor paying others, you have to verify subcontractors, deduct the right amount and file monthly CIS returns, with penalties if you slip. Either way, materials and labour move fast and the paperwork rarely keeps up.
Your Tax Help Accountants works with builders, bricklayers, groundworkers and construction firms across the UK. For subcontractors we reclaim overpaid CIS tax and claim every cost. For contractors we run your monthly CIS returns, payroll and the VAT Domestic Reverse Charge. For limited companies we handle the full accounts and tax. One fixed fee, one accountant who understands construction, and your filings kept right and on time.
Whether tax is being deducted from you or you are deducting it from others, CIS has to be filed correctly or the penalties stack up. Materials, plant hire, van and mileage at 45p (55p for 2026/27) a mile, and labour are all part of the picture, and we keep every part of it straight.
What We Handle
On CIS, 20% is deducted before you see your pay. We file your return with every cost claimed, materials, plant, van and labour, and reclaim the overpaid tax.
Paying subcontractors? We verify them, calculate the right deductions, file your monthly CIS returns on time and issue deduction statements, so you avoid penalties.
Every allowable cost claimed: materials, plant and tool hire, van running costs or mileage, fuel, scaffolding, skips, workwear and the business use of your phone.
We set up and run your construction company tax-efficiently, and help you apply for CIS gross payment status so tax is no longer deducted at source.
VAT including the construction Domestic Reverse Charge, plus payroll for your employed staff, all filed correctly and on time.
Behind on CIS returns, refunds or accounts? We bring you fully up to date, reclaim what is owed and handle any HMRC penalties.
Subcontractors who have never claimed their costs are usually owed money back, often for several past years. Contractors who file late or miss monthly CIS returns face penalties that build up quickly, £100 a month per late return and more. Whichever side you are on, we get you straight: we reclaim subcontractor refunds and bring contractor CIS filings up to date, with penalties appealed where there is grounds.
Recent Client Outcome
A builder running as a sole trader had grown to the point where he was both a CIS subcontractor on some jobs and paying two subcontractors of his own on others. He had fallen behind on his monthly CIS returns, was unsure how much to deduct from the lads he paid, and had never properly claimed his own materials and plant.
We took over the lot. We registered him correctly as a contractor, verified his subcontractors, calculated the right deductions and filed the outstanding monthly returns. On his own subcontractor income we claimed his materials, plant hire, van, fuel and tools and reclaimed the overpaid CIS tax for the year and the prior year still in the window.
He came out with a refund on his own work, his contractor filings up to date and the monthly returns now handled for him for a fixed fee. He has since moved to a limited company on our advice, set up the right way from day one.
