Carpenters working under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) often find themselves paying more tax than they should. If you use your own tools, travel between sites, or cover work-related expenses, you may be entitled to claim a CIS rebate. At TIK-TAX, we specialise in helping tradespeople like you recover what you are owed quickly, efficiently, and without the hassle of dealing with HMRC.
What Are CIS Rebates and How Do They Work for Carpenters?
When you work as a subcontractor, your contractor deducts 20% from your income to cover tax in advance. These deductions rarely take into account your allowable business expenses, which means you could be due a refund once your costs are properly declared. A CIS rebate is the amount you get back from HMRC after those expenses are factored in.
If you have paid for fuel, protective clothing, materials, or insurance, these are legitimate deductions that reduce your taxable income. The lower your taxable profit, the higher your rebate. TIK-TAX manages the full process for you, ensuring every expense is included so you receive the maximum refund possible.
Common Tax Deductions Carpenters Can Claim
Many carpenters lose out on hundreds of pounds every year because they do not claim everything they are entitled to. Expenses such as tools, equipment, clothing, travel, parking, materials, union fees, professional memberships, insurance, and even accountancy costs can all be offset against your income. By keeping records of these costs and submitting them correctly, your refund can be significantly higher.
At TIK-TAX, our team understands the specifics of CIS claims and the types of costs that HMRC allows. We take the time to review your situation carefully and make sure nothing is missed.
