The reality of the construction sector
The compliance challenges thatcatch tradespeople out.
The building trade is fast-paced, paperwork-heavy and often unforgiving. Miss one detail with CIS, receipts or status checks and it can cost real money.
Common areas where tradespeople run into problems include:
Registering correctly for CIS (contractor, subcontractor or both)
Keeping proper records to maximise allowable deductions
Handling CIS tax refunds efficiently and accurately
Applying for and maintaining Gross Payment Status
Self-employment status challenges and HMRC checks
Irregular income causing cashflow strain
Managing VAT (including reverse charge rules)
Keeping compliant when hiring labour-only subcontractors
