If you run a construction business or hire subcontractors in Bolton, you're probably already aware of the complexities that come with payroll and the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). But are you handling it correctly — or could a small mistake lead to HMRC penalties?
At YRF Accountants, we support local contractors, builders, and SMEs with complete payroll and CIS management. In this post, we explain why hiring a dedicated accountant in Bolton is the smart, risk-free way to manage these crucial functions.
What is CIS and Who Needs to File It?
The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) requires contractors to deduct money from subcontractors' payments and pass it to HMRC as advance tax. If you're:
- A contractor paying subcontractors for construction work, or
- A subcontractor receiving payments with deductions…
...then you're subject to CIS rules and must file monthly returns to HMRC.
Getting this wrong can result in:
- Incorrect tax deductions
- Late filing penalties
- Loss of gross payment status
- Unnecessary tax overpayments
That's why more firms are outsourcing CIS to experienced accountants in Bolton.
