How we recovered £4,850 in overpaid CIS tax for a Bristol groundworks contractor
The Challenge
In early 2025, a local groundworks contractor based in South Bristol approached our firm. Despite working consistently for three different main contractors, he was struggling with business cash flow. Because he was being taxed at the standard 20% CIS rate on his gross income—without his legitimate business expenses being taken into account—he felt he was losing a significant portion of his hard-earned turnover. Furthermore, he hadn’t filed a proper Self Assessment in two years and was increasingly worried about potential HMRC penalties.
Our Approach
Our team of Bristol-based accountants stepped in to rectify his position:
Comprehensive Expense Audit: We conducted a thorough review of his 2024–2025 receipts, identifying previously unclaimed business deductions including heavy machinery hire, specialised PPE, and vehicle travel costs for sites across Bristol and the M32 corridor.
Back-Filing & Reconciliation: We brought his tax affairs fully up to date, ensuring all monthly CIS deduction statements were accurately reconciled against his actual income from all contractors.
Strategic Self Assessment Filing: We submitted his tax returns, which correctly applied his personal allowance and these significant business expenses, effectively offsetting the tax he had already paid at source.
The Outcome
Because his actual tax liability was significantly lower than the 20% deducted at source by his contractors, he was entitled to a substantial tax rebate.
Total CIS Tax Recovered: £4,850
Time to Refund: 5 weeks from filing
Added Value: We implemented a digital bookkeeping system tailored to his site-based workflow, allowing him to track expenses via mobile phone while working on-site at developments in Clifton, Bedminster, and beyond. This ensures he will never miss an allowable deduction again.
“I previously believed the 20% CIS deduction was just ‘gone’ and non-refundable. Getting nearly £5,000 back has completely transformed my business cash flow. I am finally able to invest in new equipment for my upcoming jobs rather than constantly worrying about my tax position. I highly recommend EasyAccounts and Tax to any tradesperson in Bristol.” — Local Groundworks Contractor, Bristol.
