CIS, VAT schemes, subcontractor returns and year-end accounts for builders, plumbers, electricians, joiners and contractors across North Yorkshire.
Trades and construction businesses make up a significant part of our client base across North Yorkshire — from sole trader plumbers and self-employed joiners through to limited company contractors with their own teams. We understand the day-to-day realities: irregular income, subcontractor relationships, tool and vehicle costs, and the particular demands of the Construction Industry Scheme.
The tax rules for construction are more complicated than most sectors. Getting CIS wrong, misclassifying workers, or choosing the wrong VAT scheme can cost a trades business real money. We make sure none of that happens.
These are the areas where getting the right advice makes a material difference to what you keep.
Whether you're a contractor deducting from subcontractors, or a subcontractor claiming back deductions — we handle CIS returns, verification, and monthly submissions correctly.
The domestic reverse charge for construction services changed how VAT works between contractors and subcontractors. We make sure your invoicing and returns reflect this correctly.
Sole traders and self-employed tradespeople need an accurate self assessment return each year. We make sure all allowable expenses are claimed and nothing is missed.
Vans, tools, plant and equipment all qualify for tax relief — but the rules differ depending on whether you're a sole trader, partnership or limited company. We make sure capital allowances are claimed correctly.
Worker classification in construction is a long-standing HMRC focus area. We advise on the correct treatment for your workforce and help you avoid the risks of misclassification.
As your business grows, the question of whether to incorporate becomes important. We help you understand the tax and practical implications and make the right decision for your situation.
Trades and construction businesses are one of our biggest client groups. CIS, domestic reverse charge, worker classification — these aren't new concepts to us. You won't be explaining the basics.
We're available when questions come up — not just at tax time. If you're taking on a new subcontractor, buying a van, or considering going limited, pick up the phone.
Our fees are fixed and competitive. No hourly rates, no surprise bills. You'll know what you're paying and it'll be less than you'd expect from a Chartered Certified practice.
Free initial consultation, no obligation. We work with trades businesses across Pickering, York, Malton and the surrounding area.
