Does HMRC Tax Investigation Lead to Penalties?
The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is a system introduced by HMRC that requires principal contractors to deduct tax at source when paying their subcontractors. While it is primarily applicable to construction companies, CIS regulations also extend to businesses in other industries that spend a significant amount over £1 million annually on construction-related work, even if construction is not their core activity.
At Taxfix Accountants, our Construction Industry Specialist team brings years of experience in managing CIS obligations and contractor accounting. We assist businesses by setting up their CIS registration, verifying subcontractors, and liaising directly with HMRC to ensure the correct deduction rates are applied. In addition, we handle the preparation and submission of CIS returns on time, provide professional representation during HMRC tax investigations, and help clients avoid unnecessary penalties and fines.
Our approach is thorough, involving detailed preparation of working papers, collection of supporting documents, and careful management of HMRC queries. By choosing Taxfix Accountants, you gain peace of mind knowing your CIS obligations are managed efficiently and cost-effectively, allowing you to focus on growing your business.
