Your responsibility:

Under Corporation Tax Self-Assessment (CTSA), the legal responsibility for correctly calculating the corporation tax liability falls on business owners and directors. Under the law business owners and directors are required to keep accounting records and prepare a company’s tax return to work out how much corporation tax to pay.

How is the corporation tax calculated?

The UK parliament sets corporation tax rates for each financial year which runs from 1st April. The current rate of corporation tax is 19%. All companies are required to prepare their annual statutory accounts and calculate their taxable profits and corporation tax charge.

After calculation of corporation tax charge and preparation of annual statutory accounts companies are required to file their accounts and tax returns with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and pay their corporation tax.

Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)

If you are working in the construction industry whether as self employed or through a limited company, you will have certain responsibilities towards HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and that is where Eureka Accountants can help you to fulfil all your obligations. We provide our CIS tax returns and accounting services to individuals and companies.

What is Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and how it works?

Under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), contractors deduct money from a subcontractor’s payments and pass it to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

The deductions count as advance payments towards the subcontractor’s tax and National Insurance.

Under the Construction Industry Scheme, if you are a subcontractor you will need to register with HMRC as a CIS sole trader. Your CIS contractor will check your registration with HMRC and if verified will deduct 20% of tax from your invoices and will pay this to HMRC on behalf of you. If you are not a registered CIS subcontractor, your contractor will deduct 30% of your invoices.

Who counts as a contractor or subcontractor?

Contractors must register for the scheme. Subcontractors do not have to register, but deductions are taken from their payments at a higher rate if they’re not registered. Register as a contractor if either.

Register as a subcontractor if you do construction work for a contractor.
You must register as both if you fall under both categories.

Work covered by CIS

CIS covers most construction work to:

For the purpose of CIS, construction work includes:

When someone sells an asset for a profit, capital gains tax is due. Shares, real estate, and other capital assets are examples. If an individual sells a capital asset for a profit that exceeds the annual exclusion threshold for the tax year, capital gains tax may be due.
