Accountant for Electricians, UK

You Do the Wiring. We Will Do the Tax.

Based in Stanmore and working online with electricians and electrical contractors in Sutton and across the UK, we reclaim your overpaid CIS tax and make sure your van, test kit and materials are all claimed. Electricians carry real costs: a van, fuel between sites, test equipment and tools, materials, NICEIC or NAPIT registration and certification, public liability insurance and workwear. If you work on CIS, 20% comes off your pay at source, and once those costs are claimed you are usually owed a good portion of it back. A self-filed return rarely captures everything, so the refund ends up smaller than it should be.

Your Tax Help Accountants works with electricians and electrical contractors across the UK. We reclaim your overpaid CIS tax, claim your van and mileage, test kit and tools, materials, certification and insurance costs and the business use of your phone, and file an accurate Self Assessment or company return. One fixed fee, one accountant who understands the trade, and your refund chased and paid.

Test equipment, your NICEIC or NAPIT registration, materials, your van and mileage at 45p (55p for 2026/27) a mile are all deductible. Most electricians under-claim and leave money with HMRC, a quick review puts it back where it belongs.

On CIS and Never Claimed Your Refund?

If you are an electrician on CIS and you have either never filed or filed a bare return, there is a strong chance HMRC is holding hundreds or thousands of pounds of your money. CIS refunds can usually be claimed for several past years. We review your deductions and your real costs, file or amend the returns, and chase your refund through to your bank account.

Recent Client Outcome

How we recovered an electrician's missed test-kit and certification costs

A self-employed electrician on CIS had filed his own returns for three years. He offset his CIS deductions and claimed his fuel, but had never thought to claim his test equipment, his NICEIC registration or the materials he supplied on smaller jobs. His refunds were modest and the tax felt heavier than it should.

We rebuilt a full year of costs: his van and mileage between sites, his test kit and hand tools, materials he had supplied, his certification and registration fees, public liability insurance, workwear and the business use of his phone. We amended the most recent prior year while it was still in the window.

Once everything genuine was claimed, his refund increased considerably and he stopped overpaying going forward. He now sends his figures once a year for a fixed fee and his refund arrives without chasing.

Electrician & CIS Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I owed a CIS tax refund as an electrician?
Very likely. Contractors deduct 20% from your pay before you receive it, taken off your gross earnings before any expenses. Once we claim your van, fuel, test equipment, tools, materials, certification, insurance and mileage, your real tax bill is usually well below what was deducted, and the difference comes back to you. We can often reclaim for previous years too.
What can an electrician claim as expenses?
Van running costs or mileage at 45p (55p for 2026/27) a mile, fuel, test equipment and tools, materials you supply, NICEIC or NAPIT registration and certification, public liability and tool insurance, workwear and PPE, the business use of your phone, accountancy fees and training. Many electricians under-claim because test kit, certification and small materials get forgotten.
Can I claim my NICEIC or NAPIT registration and test equipment?
Yes. Your scheme registration, certification fees and test equipment are all allowable business costs. Test instruments can be claimed either as an expense or through capital allowances depending on the cost, and we make sure they are treated the most beneficial way for your return.
Should I be a sole trader or limited company?
It depends on your profit and your plans. Sole trader is simple and works well for many electricians. As profits grow a limited company can be more tax-efficient and lets you apply for CIS gross payment status so tax is no longer deducted at source. We run the numbers and set you up whichever way leaves you better off.
How much does an accountant for electricians cost?
A fixed fee, quoted up front after a free fifteen-minute call. For CIS electricians the fee is very often covered several times over by the larger refund we secure. For limited company trades we offer fixed monthly packages covering bookkeeping, VAT, CIS returns, payroll and accounts. Either way, a predictable fee and an accountant who knows the trade.
