Plymouth has one of the south west's most active construction trade communities, anchored by the substantial Plymouth City Centre Vision and Drake Circus expansion, the long-running Royal William Yard conservation and conversion trade, the substantial Devonport dockyard infrastructure work supporting the Royal Navy base, the Sherford new town development (one of the largest new settlements in Devon) on the eastern edge of the city, the steady stream of new-build residential apartment blocks across PL1, PL2 and PL3, and the wider Devon and Cornwall commercial construction economy. The Construction Industry Scheme is one of the most common reasons Plymouth subcontractors overpay tax every year. Main contractors deduct 20 per cent (or 30 per cent if you are not verified) from every payment they make to you, regardless of your actual expenses or final tax position. By the end of the tax year the deductions have usually overshot your real tax liability by a significant margin, and a properly-prepared Self-Assessment unlocks a refund of typically £1,500 to £5,000 for most Plymouth subcontractors.

📅 Get Your Free Backdated CIS ReviewReal Client Story
Client W is a self-employed carpenter based in Plymouth, working through CIS for several main contractors on City Centre Vision developments, Royal William Yard conversion projects and Sherford new town residential blocks. When he came to us his expense records were essentially a folder of receipts in his van, a memory of which jobs he had done and a previous accountant who had been filing a basic Self-Assessment without actively reviewing his expense position. His CIS deductions over the year had totalled around £6,900 against gross earnings of £34,500.
We rebuilt his records for the year and captured every legitimate expense: van and fuel costs across multiple sites, carpenter-specific tools and equipment (including a new mitre saw and several router bits mid-year), PPE and safety boots, his CSCS card renewal, scaffold tower training and an asbestos awareness refresher, mobile and admin costs, work clothing, materials he had purchased himself for several jobs, and a reasonable home-office proportion. We also moved him onto a simple receipt-capture app for going forward.
Outcome: CIS refund of £4,500, filed within 9 days of the 6 April tax year end and received from HMRC five weeks later. Client W now has a system that captures receipts as they happen and gives him a clear running view of his refund position throughout the year.
