We can review your tax return to check if you’ve paid too much tax and help you process your claim.

What can you claim for?

You might be able to claim for expenses you’ve incurred if they’re only related to your business. These can include costs for:

• Sales, like products to resell or raw goods for production
• Staff, like salaries, uniforms
• Premises, like business rates, certain costs for working from home
• Repair and maintenance of equipment
• Admin, like business insurance, software, training
• Finance, like bank charges.

Claiming your self assessment refund

We’ll take away all the hassle and stress of submitting your self assessment. We’ll discuss your circumstances and let you know what documents we need. Once we have all  the information, we’ll calculate your expenses and file your assessment for you.

Many workers in the construction industry qualify for a tax refund – the average CIS claim totals over £2,000. We can take care of filing your CIS self assessment tax returns and claim your money back.

What can you claim for?

It’s important to think what you spend your money on, while you’re doing your job.

These costs can include:

• Parking fees and tolls 
• Home office bills, like phone use, postage and stationery
• Meals while you’re working or on the road
• Travel costs (mileage or public transport)
• Accommodation if you need to stay overnight while working
• Upkeep and replacement of any essential tools or personal protective equipment 
• Public liability insurance and fees to professional bodies

If you’re self-employed, a sole trader or a limited company and you’re not already VAT registered, you could be eligible for a VAT refund. 

You need to keep records of all sales and purchases, as well as VAT invoices and receipts. We’ll let you know what we need to see, so we can check if you’re eligible.

Are you eligible?
You’re eligible if you:

• Are self-employed
• Are a limited company contractor
• Have a turnover under £150,000
• Pay VAT on goods and services bought for your business
• Have VAT receipts showing what you’ve bought

What can you claim for?
You might be able to claim a VAT refund on assets bought for your business in the last four years. 

We can check if you can claim for assets worth £2,000 or more (including VAT).

If you haven’t been registered for VAT before, you can claim for assets bought in the last four years in your first VAT return – even if they’re worth less than £2,000 including VAT.

You might also be able to claim the VAT costs for fuel and business vehicles. This includes owned, leased, commercial and self-drive hire vehicles.

If you have ‘dual purpose’ items (meaning they’re used for both personal and business reasons), you can claim the percentage used for business purposes.
