Sound familiar?
CIS deductions coming off every invoice — and you have no idea how much you are owed back.
Construction work in Paignton is rarely straightforward on the tax side. Subcontractors lose 20% from every payment under CIS and often do not reclaim what they are entitled to. Contractors face monthly filing obligations that catch people out. Most accountants file the returns and leave the rest to you. The money sits with HMRC until someone does something about it.
- 20% CIS deductions taken each month but nothing reclaimed through Self Assessment
- Monthly contractor returns filed late or incorrectly, triggering HMRC penalties
- No clear picture of whether subcontractors are verified correctly with HMRC
What sorted looks like for CIS
CIS compliance handled properly means deductions tracked, returns filed on time, and a Self Assessment that reclaims what you are owed. You should know where you stand with HMRC before they tell you.
- CIS deductions tracked monthly and reclaimed in full via your Self Assessment return
- Contractor returns submitted on time each month — penalties are largely avoidable when filings are current
- Subcontractor verification checked upfront so the right deduction rate applies from day one
- Fixed monthly fee agreed in writing before any work starts — no hourly surprises
What clients say about working with Daniel
From sole traders filing their first return to contractors managing ongoing payroll, the feedback covers the things that matter most: speed, accuracy and clear communication.
I worked with Daniel at DG Accountancy to review and sign off my sole trader accounts for a time-sensitive mortgage application, and the service was excellent. Daniel was extremely responsive, clear, and professional throughout. He understood exactly what the lender required, turned everything around very quickly without cutting corners. Communication was straightforward and reassuring, which made a potentially stressful part of the mortgage process much easier. Fees were transparent, turnaround was fast, and the work was done thoroughly and accurately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel to anyone needing reliable accountancy support, particularly where deadlines really matter.
Daniel was very helpful with my books and tax return. He offered great advise and insight in how to manage my books better and more efficiently. His knowledge in tax law and what can be used for expenses really helped with saving money where I could. As a sole trader it’s really hard to keep on top of things and have now asked Dan to do monthly books for me. His rates are extremely good compared to some other accountants out there and I get more for my money.
CIS compliance, payroll and tax — covered
Whether you are a subcontractor needing deductions reclaimed or a contractor with monthly filing obligations, here is what the service includes.
CIS Returns and Verification
Monthly contractor returns filed accurately with HMRC, and subcontractor verification checked before any work begins. Getting the verification status right from the start means the correct deduction rate applies — 20% for verified, 30% for unverified — and avoids the awkward conversation later. Returns are submitted on time so penalties do not become part of your overhead.
Included as standardDeduction Reclaims via Self Assessment
Subcontractors working under CIS have tax deducted at source throughout the year, and most are entitled to reclaim a significant portion. Your Self Assessment return brings all CIS deductions together against your actual tax liability, so HMRC refunds the difference rather than keeping it. You will know the figure well before the filing deadline.
Included for subcontractorsPayroll, PAYE and CIS Together
Many construction businesses run a mix of employed staff and CIS subcontractors side by side, which creates two sets of obligations that need to align. RTI payroll submissions for PAYE employees and CIS returns for subcontractors are handled together, so nothing falls through the gap between them. One accountant, one fixed fee, both sorted.
Available as add-onConsistent feedback across different clients
From self-employed professionals to business owners managing multiple accounts, the theme is the same: clear communication, fast turnaround and transparent fees.
Professional, Meticulous and Thoroughly Recommended
“Absolutely recommend Daniel for all and any accounts related matter. Would use his expertise again. He is the most amazing person, very professional, explaining every detail meticulously in order to finalise our accounts. A huge thank you Daniel.”
Self-Employed Tax Help That Actually Relieved Workload
“Huge thanks to Daniel for helping ourselves with our taxes! Being self employed means we all have to do this ourselves which is just not possible on top of our work load. Thanks again! We will be using you again!”
Patient, Clear and Made Everything Understandable
“Daniel was very helpful and patient with me when I had no clue what to do and spoke through everything with me and made it clear, couldn’t recommend him enough, thank you again.”
Why construction clients in Paignton choose us
There is no shortage of accountants. The difference is in the specifics — what they actually know about your industry, and whether they pick up the phone.
Construction experience built in
Daniel’s background spans construction alongside airlines, manufacturing and entertainment, so CIS is not an occasional query — it is a known area of work. You will not need to explain what a CIS deduction statement is or how subcontractor verification works before getting a useful answer. That prior knowledge saves time from the first conversation.
Replies the same day you ask
Construction schedules do not wait for your accountant to clear their inbox. Questions about a subcontractor’s deduction rate, a late CIS return, or an HMRC letter get answered the day you ask them. That responsiveness is something clients specifically mention, and it is how the practice is run rather than a claim to test.
HMRC explained without the jargon
CIS correspondence from HMRC is rarely written for people running a building firm. Daniel translates obligations, penalties and deduction rules into plain English so you understand what is required and why. No cryptic emails, no unanswered questions left to fester.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. Here is what the process looks like from first contact to CIS returns handled.

CIS sorted, month after month
Returns filed on time, deductions tracked, Self Assessment prepared when the time comes. You focus on the build. The tax side runs in the background without you having to think about it — which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Professional service. This company does my accounts every year and i never have to worry about it. Speedy as well. I am a very happy customer.”
Things people usually want to know
Do you handle CIS for both contractors and subcontractors, or just one?
Both. Contractors need monthly CIS returns submitted to HMRC and subcontractor verifications managed correctly. Subcontractors need those deductions tracked and reclaimed through Self Assessment. Many clients in construction sit in both positions depending on the job, and that mixed picture is handled as a single piece of work rather than two separate engagements.
What does CIS accounting cost and what is included in the fee?
The fee depends on your structure — whether you are a sole trader, a limited company, or a contractor with employees alongside CIS subcontractors. All quotes are fixed, written and agreed before any work begins. There are no hourly rates and nothing added on at year end without your knowledge. A free quote call takes around 15 minutes and will give you an exact figure.
My CIS records are a mess and I may have missed returns. Can you still help?
Yes, and it is more common than most people admit. Catch-up work is handled as a separate piece before moving to an ongoing monthly arrangement. The priority is to get the position with HMRC understood — what is outstanding, what penalties if any have accrued, and what needs filing — before anything else. The cost of catch-up is agreed upfront.
Is there a long-term contract or minimum commitment?
No long-term contract. Services run on a rolling monthly basis and you can leave with a month’s notice. If the arrangement is not working, you leave with your records in order and nothing further owed. The aim is to be worth keeping, not to make leaving difficult.
What happens if HMRC questions one of my CIS returns or issues a penalty notice?
HMRC correspondence is handled as part of the service. If a penalty arises from an error in a return filed by DG Accountancy, it is addressed at no additional cost. If a penalty predates the arrangement, that is dealt with as part of onboarding once the full picture is understood. You will not be left to manage HMRC letters on your own.
I am a subcontractor — can I reduce how much CIS is deducted from my payments?
The standard deduction rate is 20% for verified subcontractors and 30% for unverified. To qualify for gross payment status — where no deduction is taken — HMRC applies a turnover and compliance test. Whether you are likely to qualify and whether it is worth applying is something that can be assessed as part of an initial review, so you are not paying 20% indefinitely when you may not need to.
CIS returns handled, deductions back where they belong.
Fixed monthly fee, ACCA-qualified accountant, same-day replies. Your CIS obligations managed accurately so you can focus on the work, not the paperwork.
