At The Tax Lead, we work with UK-based construction companies and property-focused contractors to keep things simple, legal, and profitable. From CIS to VAT, we know what matters and how to handle it without the fluff. Our advice is straight-talking and built around the reality of your day-to-day.
CIS Registration & Monthly Filing
Registering under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) is the first step, but keeping up with the monthly returns is just as critical. We manage this process end-to-end so you never face penalties or late fees.
Gross Status & Deduction Reconciliation
Gross status can significantly improve your cash flow, but only if handled correctly. We help you apply for and maintain it, while reconciling deductions taken by contractors to ensure your tax position is accurate.
Payroll & Subcontractor Tax Handling
Running payroll in construction often means juggling PAYE employees and self-employed subcontractors. We help you manage both streams without mistakes or delays.
VAT Reverse Charge Compliance
The VAT reverse charge for construction has added another layer of admin. We help you apply the rules correctly on invoices, avoid overpayments, and stay compliant without slowing your business down.
Industry-Specific Advisory (CIS audits, VAT reclaim)
When HMRC come knocking, you need someone who knows construction tax inside out. We support you through audits, compliance checks, and help reclaim VAT you may not realise you’re entitled to.
Contractor Ltd Company Setup
Thinking of operating through a limited company? We help you set up and structure your business the right way from day one, including tax registrations, bookkeeping systems, and director support.
Job Costing & Project Reporting
Understanding job-level profitability is key in construction. We help you track costs accurately, allocate spend properly, and create reports that actually mean something to you and your team.
