Check List
- Book an appointment by calling 0208 761 8000;
- Bring in records of your invoices, whether they are self-billed or your own. If any are lost, try to bring copies.
- Bring in all your CIS statements and receipts for the period 6th April 2021 to 5th April 2022;
- Even if you don’t yet have your most recent CIS statement, we can still make a start;
- Show us receipts for things you use for work including tools, equipment and plant hire – the law expects you to keep proof so don’t throw anything away;
- Bring receipts for materials too, as some can be offset to maximise your tax refund;
- If you had any equipment or tools stolen during the year, make sure you bring a crime reference number so we can obtain tax relief on those items;
- Bring in bank statements — if any records for income or expenditure have been lost, bank statements can prove vital to fill in the gaps and give us a better view of your overall tax situation;
- Lastly, if you have any payslips from any employment during the year, please do also bring in those.

Why you’re due a tax refund
CIS construction workers like you are usually taxed at source before being paid, and this usually results in a tax overpayment. That’s because you were taxed on the first £12,500 of your income even though that part falls within your 2020-21 ‘Personal Allowance’, i.e. the part of your income that should be tax-free. In addition, by pre-paying the tax, you will not have offset any allowable expenses such as tools etc. To rectify this, Taxfile will help you get the figures right, offset all allowable expenses and maximise your tax refund! Most sub-contractors receive their tax rebate within just 2 to 4 weeks, through Taxfile.
Working through a Limited Company?
Perhaps you a sub-contractor working through a limited company? If so, that’s also no problem! As well as CIS tax refunds, we can help limited companies with accounts preparation, confirmation statements, corporation tax computations, CIS set-off rebate, National Insurance (N.I.), VAT and much more.
Call Taxfile on 0208 761 8000. We look forward to seeing you soon!
