Sound familiar?
CIS admin eating into your working week?
Monthly CIS returns are not complicated in isolation, but they compound quickly when you are managing multiple subcontractors, verifying new starters, and trying to reconcile deductions against what has actually been paid out. Miss a submission date or get a deduction rate wrong and HMRC will let you know about it. Most contractors in this position are not doing it wrong on purpose — they simply do not have the time to stay on top of it properly.
- ✕ Monthly CIS submissions missed or filed late, attracting HMRC penalties
- ✕ Subcontractors deducted at the wrong rate because verification was skipped
- ✕ CIS deductions not reconciled with payroll records, causing year-end problems
What sorted looks like
CIS returns filed on time each month, subcontractors verified before they are paid, and deductions that match what your payroll and accounts actually show. The admin comes off your plate and the compliance is handled.
- ✓ Monthly CIS returns submitted on time, every month, without chasing
- ✓ Every subcontractor verified before payment, correct deduction rate applied
- ✓ CIS deductions reconciled with payroll and year-end accounts from the start
- ✓ Fixed-fee pricing so the cost is known in advance, not billed by the hour

What the CIS service covers
A complete monthly CIS compliance service for contractors based in New Milton, with payroll, bookkeeping, and year-end support available alongside it.
Monthly CIS Returns, Filed
Your CIS300 return is prepared and submitted to HMRC each month before the deadline. Subcontractors are verified through the HMRC CIS portal before their first payment, so the correct deduction rate is applied from day one. You receive a record of each submission.
Included as standardCIS Payroll and Deduction Statements
Subcontractor payment and deduction statements are prepared each month so your subbies have the documentation they need for their own tax returns. CIS deductions are tracked and reconciled against what has been paid, reducing the chance of discrepancies at year-end.
Included as standardYear-End Reconciliation and Support
At year-end, CIS deductions are reconciled against your accounts and corporation tax return to make sure everything ties together. If HMRC have questions about CIS submissions, we handle the correspondence. Year-end accounts and CT600 filing can be added to the same fixed-fee package.

What makes the difference for construction clients
CIS compliance is one thing. Understanding how construction businesses actually work is another. After 20 years working with contractors and trades, the two tend to come together.
CIS handled as routine, not emergency
CIS returns are a monthly fixed item, not something scrambled together on the 19th. Subcontractor verification, payment statements, and monthly submissions run to a set process. The return does not depend on you remembering to chase anyone.
Fixed fee, known in advance
The price for CIS compliance is agreed before we start and does not change unless your scope changes. No hourly billing, no invoice surprises at month-end. You know what you are paying from the first conversation.
Cloud records that stay current
Using Xero or QuickBooks Online, your subcontractor records, payment history, and deduction totals are maintained in real time. At year-end, the figures reconcile cleanly against your accounts rather than requiring a month of detective work.
Up and running in four steps
Most contractors are set up and submitting within two weeks. The process asks very little of you once the initial information is gathered.
Brief discovery call
A short, no-obligation conversation to understand your current CIS setup, how many subcontractors you work with, and whether any catch-up is needed. You will know within 20 minutes whether it is a straightforward switch.
Fixed-fee proposal sent
You receive a written proposal covering exactly what is included, the monthly fee, and timelines. No ambiguity about scope. If you want to add payroll, bookkeeping, or year-end accounts, those are costed separately and clearly.
Onboarding and setup
We gather subcontractor details, verify them through the HMRC CIS portal, and get your cloud records set up. If there are prior submissions to review or catch up on, that is handled as part of onboarding. You provide the information once.
Monthly compliance, handled
Each month, your CIS return is filed, payment statements go out to subcontractors, and your records stay current. HMRC correspondence, if it arises, comes to us. The 19th of the month stops being something you think about.
“I’m so grateful for the help received with my small cleaning business. Stuart holds your hand and advises throughout!”
Things contractors usually ask us
Do you handle subcontractor verification through HMRC as part of the service?
Yes, subcontractor verification is included. Before a new subcontractor is paid, we verify them through the HMRC CIS portal to confirm whether they should be deducted at the standard 20% rate, the higher 30% rate, or the gross payment rate if they hold gross payment status. Getting this right at the start avoids the kind of corrections that create problems later.
What does the CIS service cost and what is included?
Pricing is fixed and agreed in advance based on the number of subcontractors you pay each month and the scope of service. The monthly fee covers CIS return preparation and submission, subcontractor verification, and payment and deduction statements. Year-end reconciliation, bookkeeping, and payroll can be added to the same package. You will receive a written proposal before anything is agreed.
My CIS submissions are behind or I am not sure they are correct — can you still help?
This is a fairly common starting point. We would review what has been submitted, identify any gaps or errors, and handle any catch-up submissions required. Where HMRC penalties have already accrued, we can advise on next steps, including whether a reasonable excuse submission is worth making. Catch-up work is quoted separately and clearly before we begin.
Is there a minimum contract term?
There is no long-term contract. CIS compliance runs month to month and you are free to leave with reasonable notice. If you do leave, your records are handed over in order. We would rather earn the work each month than hold clients in place with paperwork.
Do you also handle the CIS deductions I have had taken from my own payments as a subcontractor?
Yes. If you are a subcontractor as well as a contractor — which is common in construction — CIS deductions suffered are credited against your corporation tax or income tax liability. We ensure those deductions are claimed correctly on your year-end accounts and tax return, so you are not overpaying HMRC or waiting longer than necessary for a refund.
Can I apply for gross payment status through CIS and would that be worthwhile?
Gross payment status allows HMRC to pay you without deducting CIS, which improves cash flow. To qualify, your business must meet certain turnover, compliance, and banking tests. Whether it is worth applying depends on your current turnover and whether your compliance record is clean enough to pass. We can assess your eligibility and handle the application if it makes sense for your situation.
