CIS Accountant in Basildon

Straightforward CIS Tax for Basildon’s Trades

Basildon was an Essex new town built for industry, and the trades still have plenty to do. The Enterprise Corridor and the industrial estates at Pipps Hill and Burnt Mills see constant unit build and fit-out, the run of housing and estate renewal across SS13 to SS16 keeps finishing crews going, and a lot of subbies head down the A13 and into London for the bigger sites. CIS takes its cut first, though: 20% (or 30% unverified) off every payment, so most Basildon trades are owed a refund by the year end.

We run the full CIS service for Basildon trades: same-day refund filing, monthly CIS300 returns, verification, gross payment status applications, and a Self-Assessment that captures every allowable cost. Fixed monthly fee, filed from 6 April so the money is back early.

💡 As an HMRC-registered agent, we deal with HMRC directly on your behalf — filing monthly returns, processing refund claims and handling verifications. Same-day filing available from 6 April for the fastest refund.

What We Handle

A Complete CIS Service for Basildon Subcontractors & Contractors

📋

Same-Day CIS Refund Filing

Self-Assessment filed within 24–48 hours of 6 April with every legitimate expense captured. HMRC refunds typically arrive 4–6 weeks later.

🏗️

Monthly Contractor Returns (CIS300)

Full monthly CIS300 returns filed direct to HMRC for Basildon contractors paying subcontractors. Verification handled, deduction statements produced, late-filing penalties avoided.

Subcontractor Verification

We verify your subcontractors with HMRC before you pay them, so the correct rate — gross, 20% or 30% — is applied from the very first payment.

Gross Payment Status

For established Basildon subcontractors who pass the turnover, compliance and business tests, we prepare and submit gross payment status applications so you are paid without deduction.

📱

Receipt Capture & Bookkeeping

A simple phone app logs tools, fuel, materials, PPE and CSCS renewals as you go — so nothing is lost and nothing is a scramble next April.

🚨

Late Returns & Penalties

Behind on Self-Assessment or CIS returns? We bring you current and put your case to HMRC, asking for penalty reductions where there is a reasonable excuse.

Owed a CIS Refund From an Earlier Year?

Refund claims can be made for up to four previous tax years. Plenty of Basildon subcontractors are sitting on several years' worth without realising it. Book a free call and we'll scope out exactly what's recoverable.

Worked Example

How a typical Basildon CIS refund is built

Take a self-employed electrician on commercial fit-out around the industrial estates plus shifts on a London site. He invoices about £37,000 gross, with roughly £7,400 deducted under CIS before he is paid.

Captured properly: mileage between estates and into London, test gear and power tools, cable and consumables bought by the job, PPE, his ECS/CSCS card and an 18th-edition refresher, and the business share of his phone and van. Against £7,400 of deductions that base routinely returns a strong four-figure refund, filed in April.

This is an illustrative example to show how a claim is built — your own figures depend entirely on your earnings, deductions and expenses, and we confirm them with you before anything is filed.

CIS Questions, Answered

Common CIS Questions from Basildon Trades

How much CIS tax could a Basildon subcontractor be owed?
Your refund depends on your gross income, the deductions taken and your costs — tools, test gear, van, fuel, PPE, certifications, materials, phone and mileage. A Basildon trade travelling into London with a real kit spend usually sees a meaningful four-figure refund. We file for the full amount from your actual records.
How soon can you file my refund after 6 April?
If your records are ready we file within 24–48 hours of the 6 April year-end, and HMRC usually pays out within 4–6 weeks. Filing in April rather than waiting until January means the money reaches your account months sooner — a real difference when work is quiet over the winter.
I run down the A13 into London for work — does that travel count?
Yes. Travel between sites and to temporary workplaces — the standard pattern down the A13 — is claimable at 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles and 25p after that, or actual running costs. Only home to a single permanent workplace is excluded. We keep a clean log for you.
What can I actually claim as a Basildon subcontractor?
Every genuine business cost: van and fuel (the 55p-per-mile simplified rate for the first 10,000 business miles, or actual running costs), tools and plant, PPE and work clothing, CSCS card and training, materials you buy yourself, the business share of your phone, accountancy fees, and a fair home-office proportion for quoting and admin. We make sure none of it slips through.
I pay subcontractors myself — which returns do I file?
As a contractor you file a monthly CIS300 return by the 19th, showing what you paid each subcontractor and what you deducted, and you must verify every subbie with HMRC before paying them. We handle the verifications, the monthly returns and the deduction statements inside the fixed monthly fee, so you're never caught out by a £100 late-filing penalty.
I'm two or three years behind on my returns — am I in trouble?
It's very fixable. File as soon as you can: HMRC penalties start at £100 and build, but you can still reclaim refunds for up to four prior years, which often more than cancels out the penalties. We regularly bring Basildon subcontractors back up to date across several years at once and argue your corner with HMRC on any charges.
