CIS Tax Refunds for Construction Subcontractors
Under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), contractors deduct tax from payments to subcontractors at 20% for registered subcontractors or 30% for unregistered ones. Subcontractors regularly overpay tax because deductions at source do not account for allowable business expenses or the correct annual tax computation.
At Kent Tax Specialists, we prepare your CIS self assessment return, claiming every allowable expense: tools and equipment, vehicle costs, materials, protective clothing, professional fees, and accommodation where applicable. We reconcile all CIS deduction statements, verify gross payment status eligibility, and ensure your refund is calculated correctly and paid promptly by HMRC.
For limited company contractors, we handle CIS offset against PAYE liabilities, ensuring accurate monthly filing and no unnecessary overpayment. Our clients across Kent regularly recover four-figure refunds that would otherwise go unclaimed.

Your Common CIS Tax Refund Questions Answered
Most CIS subcontractors are entitled to a refund each year. Deductions are made at 20% or 30%, but your actual tax rate after expenses and allowances is usually lower. The more business expenses you have, the larger the refund. We maximise the claim by ensuring all legitimate expenses are included.
Yes — up to 4 previous tax years. If you worked under CIS in prior years but never filed returns, you may have significant refunds outstanding. We handle multi-year CIS returns, often recovering thousands of pounds for clients who did not realise they were owed money.
HMRC typically processes refunds within 5–10 working days for online returns. In some cases a security check adds 2–4 weeks. We ensure returns are filed correctly to minimise HMRC queries and chase refunds that are delayed.

The Construction Industry Scheme requires contractors to deduct tax at source from subcontractor payments. Registered subcontractors have 20% deducted; unregistered, 30%. These deductions are advance payments of your tax bill. At year-end you file a Self Assessment return and, if deductions exceed your actual liability, HMRC refunds the difference.
