Services - Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

The new CIS scheme in operation since April 2007 is much more focused on penalties. The monthly return, once issued, must be returned to HMRC by 19th of each month to avoid an automatic fine of £100, whether sub-contractors are used or not during the month. The amount of CIS tax to be deducted is usually 20% but can be 30% depending on the tax status of the sub-contractor.

Not Sure if you are Charging the Right Price ?

Often overlooked, it is absolutely vital to use a system that ensures you stay ahead of your competitors, not only on price, but also on quality. A job costing exercise simplifies the process and allows you to make certain decisions or changes to your service.
