If you work in construction under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), you may be due a tax refund. Many subcontractors overpay tax each year because deductions are made at source before all allowable expenses are considered. Setting up to claim your CIS rebate with TIK-TAX is straightforward, efficient, and designed to help you get tax money back fast.
Our team specialises in helping construction workers, tradespeople, and subcontractors navigate the CIS system and recover what’s rightfully theirs. Whether you’re new to CIS or filing for another tax year, we’ll make sure your claim is accurate and maximised.
Setting Up to Claim Your CIS Rebate
Before you can claim your refund, you need to be registered with HMRC under the Construction Industry Scheme. Many people find this confusing, which is why TIK-TAX provides step-by-step support. If you’re unsure where to start, our How To Register guide explains exactly what details you’ll need and how to get set up.
Once registered, you’ll receive a CIS Statement from your contractor each month. This statement outlines how much you’ve been paid and how much CIS tax has been deducted. It’s essential because it allows us to calculate how much tax you could get back.
How to Claim CIS Tax Back If You Work in Construction
If you’re a subcontractor, CIS tax is usually deducted at 20% or 30% by the contractor before you’re paid. However, after factoring in your expenses, such as tools, protective clothing, fuel, and mileage, you may have paid more tax than you owe.
At TIK-TAX, we make claiming CIS tax back simple. Our process includes:
1. Reviewing your CIS statements, payslips, and receipts.
2. Calculating allowable expenses that reduce your taxable income.
3. Preparing and submitting your CIS tax return accurately and on time.
Once HMRC processes your return, you’ll get your tax back directly into your bank account, often within a few weeks.
Will I Get Tax Back After My CIS Deductions?
In most cases, yes. The majority of CIS subcontractors overpay tax due to fixed deductions and overlooked expenses. You’re likely entitled to a refund if:
1. You’ve worked as a subcontractor with CIS deductions.
2. You’ve bought tools, materials, or equipment for work.
3. You’ve travelled to multiple sites and covered fuel or travel costs.
4. You’ve paid for professional fees or insurance related to your work.
TIK-TAX ensures your claim is compliant and maximised, helping you get your tax back as quickly as possible. Even small deductions can add up to a significant refund.
