Construction Accountants

The building blocks of tax efficiency

As specialist construction accountants we are well aware being part of the construction industry is hard yet rewarding work. As a construction company, you have endless compliance regulations to meet – and that’s all before you even get a start on your taxes.

Even though we make it sound like a lot of work, there’s no need to feel overwhelmed. We work closely with our construction industry clients, helping them navigate the complexities of their sector.

Whether you’re a sole contractor or a limited company, we can help share the weight of your reporting requirements with HMRC.

As specialist construction accountants, we have an in-depth knowledge of your taxes – this includes the construction industry scheme (CIS), VAT reverse charge and even your cashflow.

Our Expertise in Construction Accounting

At Coveney Nicholls, we pride ourselves on our extensive experience in providing expert construction accounting services to businesses of all sizes. Our team of dedicated accountants possesses a deep understanding of the construction industry and its unique accounting requirements. We specialize in offering tailored accounting solutions that cater specifically to the needs of construction companies. Whether it’s tax planning, managing the construction industry scheme (CIS), or optimizing cash flow, our expertise in construction accounting allows us to provide valuable insights and advice. Our goal is to help construction businesses minimize their tax liability and maximize their profits, ensuring they thrive in a competitive market.

Specialist advice for the construction industry

Being part of the CIS requires its own form of reporting. If you’re part of the scheme as a contractor, you’ll have a legal obligation to make deductions from your subcontractors’ payments and pay these to HMRC. If you’re yet to register, we can help you with every step of the process.

Our expertise in CIS management helps you minimise tax liability and ensure compliance with HMRC regulations.

Our services include:

• registration as a contractor/subcontractor

• verification of subcontractors for contractors

• preparation & submission of monthly CIS returns to HMRC

• subcontractor payment & deduction statements.

Supporting contractor accountants of all kinds

If you run your own construction business, the first thing we’ll do is sit down and look at its structure. From there, we can help identify ways to potentially improve your tax efficiency, either through the use of capital allowances and reliefs or by managing your current expenditure.

For our subcontractor or contractor clients, we can advise you on your IR35 status and tax reporting obligations. There may have been changes in the legislation, but we’re well-versed in it all.

Looking ahead with tax planning

By becoming our partner, you can guarantee that your accounting processes will be future-proofed. We’re always keeping up with the latest changes in reporting processes (such as Making Tax Digital), so we’ll meet every compliance requirement on your behalf.

We also help you navigate the complexities of WIP and matching costs, ensuring accurate financial reporting for incomplete projects.

Not only will this save you money and time, but it’ll also mean you can relieve yourself of the stresses of keeping on top of the Government’s ever-changing policies. Our specialist construction accountants are here to help you keep doing what you do best – build towards a brighter future.
