Yes — this is a common setup in construction and one we handle regularly. When a business sits in both positions, there are often CIS deductions being taken from payments received while also deducting from payments made. Getting the offset right and ensuring overpaid tax is reclaimed efficiently requires keeping both sides of the picture in view at once, which we do as a matter of course.

We charge a fixed monthly fee that covers the full monthly CIS cycle — subcontractor verification, monthly return submission, deduction statements, and HMRC correspondence. We will confirm the exact figure after a brief conversation about your volume of subcontractors and whether you also need CIS deduction reclaim support. There are no separate charges for routine monthly filings.

Yes. Catch-up work and late return resolution is something we deal with on a fairly regular basis. We will assess the current position, identify any penalties accrued, and work through the backlog systematically. We will be straightforward with you about what the catch-up involves and what it costs before any work begins.

No. We do not tie clients into long contracts. If after a few months it is not the right fit, you leave with up-to-date books, all filing done, and nothing outstanding. In practice, clients tend to stay because the monthly compliance runs smoothly and there is little reason to change something that is working.

Verification is not a one-off check — statuses can change if a subcontractor’s registration lapses or if gross payment status is granted or revoked. We re-verify subcontractors as required and update deduction rates accordingly, so you are not left applying the wrong rate and facing a correction later.

Yes. Gross payment status allows subcontractors to be paid without deductions, which improves cash flow significantly for eligible businesses. We assess whether the turnover and compliance tests are met, prepare the application, and handle HMRC correspondence throughout the process.
