Accountant for Painters & Decorators, UK
Being self-employed as one of the UK's painters and decorators brings a tax position that rewards good record-keeping and punishes poor records. You can claim paint, materials and sundries, brushes, rollers and equipment, dust sheets and access equipment, van and fuel, workwear, insurance, mileage and phone, yet most people in the trade pay more tax than they need to simply because those costs are never properly captured. Get the records right and the bill comes down to what it should be.
Your Tax Help Accountants works with painters and decorators across the UK. Many painters and decorators work under CIS on new-build and refurbishment sites and are deducted 20 per cent at source. Because your materials, equipment, van and mileage add up quickly, most are owed a refund once those costs are claimed properly against your income. One fixed fee, one accountant who understands the trade, and more of your hard-earned money kept where it belongs.
If you have only been claiming the obvious costs, you are almost certainly leaving money on the table. A quick review captures what you have missed and gets your tax bill down to what it should be.
What We Handle
Your annual return prepared and filed accurately, with your bill worked out and explained in advance so there are no January surprises.
We claim paint, materials and sundries, brushes, rollers and equipment, dust sheets and access equipment, van and fuel, workwear, insurance, mileage and phone, every allowable cost captured so you keep more of what you earn.
CIS deductions reconciled against the tax actually due, refunds reclaimed for this year and earlier years, and monthly CIS returns filed if you use subcontractors.
Below £90,000 turnover VAT is optional; above it, mandatory. We watch your position, register you at the right time and pick the scheme that suits your trade.
A clear fixed fee agreed up front, one accountant from start to finish, and everything, return, advice and filing, handled for you.
Behind on one or several years? We bring you fully up to date, claim the costs that were missed, and deal with HMRC penalties where they apply.
CIS subcontractors are usually owed a refund, but only once an accurate return is filed and every cost is claimed. Leave it and you overpay year after year.
Recent Client Outcome
When a self-employed decorator splitting work between CIS site jobs and private domestic clients came to us, they had been filing their own returns and declaring their income, but claiming only the obvious costs because they did not realise how much else counted. Their tax bill felt high for what they actually took home.
We went through their real position and separated CIS income from private work, claimed materials, equipment, van and mileage, and reclaimed the over-deducted CIS tax, and set up a simple way to keep records going forward.
The result was a £1,900 refund plus a lower bill on his private work, a prior year corrected where it was still in the window, and a fixed annual fee, with tax season no longer a source of stress.
