CIS Tax, Sorted, for Bath’s Construction Trades

Bath’s World Heritage setting makes for a particular kind of construction economy — and steady work for skilled trades. The Bath Riverside and Western Riverside housing scheme has kept finishing crews busy for years, the constant repair and refurbishment of listed and period properties across BA1 and BA2 demands stonemasons, joiners and roofers, and the university estates add their own programme, with plenty of subbies travelling to Bristol for the bigger sites. Under CIS, 20% (or 30% unverified) comes off every payment first, so most Bath trades are owed a refund by the year end.

We handle CIS in full for Bath 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 refund lands 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 Bath 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 Bath 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 Bath 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 Bath 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 Bath CIS refund is built

Take a self-employed stonemason on period-property repair and refurbishment across the city plus work on a riverside housing site. He invoices about £37,000 gross, with roughly £7,400 deducted under CIS before he is paid.

Captured properly: mileage between jobs and into Bristol, specialist hand tools and a disc cutter, lime and materials bought by the job, PPE and dust protection, his CSCS card and a heritage-skills 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 Bath Trades

How much CIS tax could a Bath subcontractor be owed?
Your refund depends on your gross income, the deductions taken and your costs — specialist tools, van, fuel, PPE, CSCS, materials, phone and mileage. A Bath trade on heritage and refurbishment work travelling to Bristol with a real 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 work across Bath and into Bristol — how is mileage treated?
Travel between sites and to temporary workplaces 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, which rarely applies on the tools. We keep a clean log for you.
What can I actually claim as a Bath 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 Bath subcontractors back up to date across several years at once and argue your corner with HMRC on any charges.
