Build Your Finances Like You Build Your Projects

Discover How Merranti Accounting Supports Individuals in the Construction Industry

Welcome — and thanks for scanning the QR code at the back of our “25 Construction Tax Tips” guide. If you’re working in construction — whether as a subcontractor, sole trader, limited company director, or site-based professional — this page is for you.

At Merranti Accounting, we understand the daily realities of the building trade: unpredictable work patterns, tight deadlines, changing tax rules, and time-consuming paperwork. That’s why we’ve tailored our services specifically for construction workers, tradespeople, and self-employed professionals, with expert advice that saves time, reduces stress, and lowers your tax bill.

🧰 What Merranti Offers Individuals in the Construction Industry

Here’s how we help you stay financially organised, compliant with HMRC, and in control of your money:

✅ CIS Tax Refunds & Compliance Support

If you’re registered under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), chances are you’ve had 20–30% of your income withheld as tax. We specialise in reclaiming overpaid CIS tax quickly and ensuring you’re fully compliant — so you get your money back faster and avoid penalties.

We can help you:

• Reclaim CIS deductions from contractors
• Ensure correct filing with HMRC
• Minimise your annual tax liability
• Understand what expenses you can and can’t claim

✅ Self-Assessment Tax Returns Made Easy

Whether you’re a sole trader, company director, or property-owning contractor, your annual tax return matters. Mistakes lead to overpayments or HMRC penalties — but we make sure everything’s filed correctly, on time, and in your best financial interest.

We’ll:

• File your Self-Assessment for you
• Help you claim every allowable expense
• Track your income from multiple sources
• Avoid unnecessary tax payments or surcharges

✅ Bookkeeping & Expense Tracking

Busy on site? Don’t worry about the paperwork — we’ll handle it. Our digital bookkeeping tools mean you can snap receipts from your phone, and we’ll take care of the rest. No shoeboxes full of invoices. No missing expenses.

What we provide:

• Real-time digital bookkeeping tools
• Secure cloud storage for invoices & receipts
• Monthly summaries so you always know where you stand
• Guidance on allowable expenses specific to your trade (tools, van, clothing, subsistence, etc.)

✅ VAT Registration & Returns

Once your income exceeds the VAT threshold, you need to register — but even before then, voluntary VAT registration might be financially beneficial.

We’ll advise you on:

• Whether Flat Rate VAT Scheme suits your business
• How to register and manage VAT returns
• What construction-related VAT rules apply to your services
• Avoiding common VAT errors in the construction sector

✅ Payroll for You and Your Team

Running a small crew? Hiring help on a job-by-job basis? We can manage your payroll for both PAYE employees and CIS subcontractors, ensuring you’re meeting all your obligations and filing RTI reports correctly.

Includes:

• Weekly/monthly payroll runs
• Payslips, CIS payment certificates, P60S
• Subcontractor deductions and HMRC reporting
• Pension auto-enrolment management

✅ Business Structure Advice

Thinking of going limited? Wondering whether to stay a sole trader or switch to a company setup? We’ll compare the pros and cons, based on your actual income and business goals.

We offer:

• Sole trader vs limited company comparisons
• Company formation, if beneficial
• Ongoing accounting and compliance for your new company
• Director tax planning and dividend strategies

✅ Year-End Reviews & Tax Planning

Why only look at your accounts after the year ends? We help you plan in advance, so you don’t get caught off guard with a large tax bill.

We can help:

• Reduce your tax bill through strategic planning
• Identify business growth opportunities
• Maximise your allowable expenses before year-end
• Prepare for upcoming regulation changes
