CIS accountants for Greater Manchester

Manchester’s skyline has been full of cranes for years, with major schemes in areas such as Mayfield, Victoria North and Salford alongside the steady flow of housing, refurbishment and commercial work across Trafford, Stockport, Bolton, Oldham, Bury, Rochdale, Tameside and Wigan. That work relies on thousands of CIS subcontractors.

Most of them have 20% deducted from the labour part of every payment. Once expenses are taken into account, that is usually more than the tax they owe. We reconcile your payment and deduction statements, claim every allowable cost and file your return so the refund reaches you as quickly as possible.

Costs Manchester trades often miss

Tools and equipment, protective clothing and boots, van costs or business mileage, phone and internet, insurance, trade memberships and training courses can all reduce your tax. If you travel between different temporary sites around Greater Manchester, that travel is normally allowable too.

Contractors and construction companies

If you pay subcontractors, you are a CIS contractor. Since 6 April 2026 you must file a monthly return even in months when you pay no one, and HMRC can pursue businesses that should have spotted fraud in their supply chain. We verify your subcontractors, file every return on time and keep the records that protect you. For limited companies we also handle accounts, corporation tax, payroll and VAT under the domestic reverse charge.
