Accounting Built for CIS Subcontractors
CIS subcontractors face accounting challenges that general small business accountants rarely handle properly. Monthly deduction statements, 20% or 30% rate reconciliation, refund reclamation and gross payment status applications all demand advisors who know how subcontractors earn and recover overpaid tax.
ABM Chartered Accountants works with sole trader CIS subcontractors, labour-only contractors, partnerships and incorporated subcontractor firms across England, delivering structured financial support for subcontractor businesses and individual tradespeople. Every CIS reconciliation, self assessment and refund claim is handled accurately.
Helping Subcontractors Reclaim Every Pound Owed
CIS subcontractors need more than basic compliance. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares self assessment returns, CIS reconciliations, refund claims and tax planning, giving subcontractors clear visibility over deductions, allowable expenses and the refunds often due after personal allowance applies.
Whether you work as a self-employed CIS subcontractor, a labour-only tradesperson, a partnership or a limited company offsetting CIS deductions against PAYE, our ICAEW and ACCA qualified team adapts to your setup, keeping the business and individual subcontractors fully covered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions CIS subcontractors, self-employed tradespeople and firm directors ask about specialist accounting for the sector.
Why do CIS subcontractors get refunds?
CIS deductions ignore the personal allowance and expenses. Once these apply through self assessment, actual tax is often lower than 20%, creating a refund for registered subcontractors.
What is gross payment status?
Gross payment status lets subcontractors receive full payments without CIS deduction. HMRC grants it after passing compliance, turnover and business tests. It greatly improves cash flow for qualifying subcontractors.
How long do CIS refunds take?
HMRC typically processes CIS refunds within eight to twelve weeks of self assessment filing. Accurate records and timely filing help avoid delays in getting tax back.
Can limited companies reclaim CIS deductions?
Yes. Limited company CIS subcontractors offset deductions against PAYE, NIC and corporation tax through their PAYE scheme. Any excess is refunded by HMRC after year-end reconciliation with proper supporting records.
What expenses can CIS subcontractors claim?
Subcontractors claim tools, van costs, fuel, mileage, protective clothing, insurance, training, phone and office expenses. Correct classification maximises allowable deductions and increases potential refunds from CIS overpayments.
Can ABM support CIS subcontractors nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves CIS subcontractors and incorporated subcontractor firms across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to sole traders and limited companies in every region.
