Specialist accountants for CIS refunds
dns accountants can help you get a refund of your construction industry scheme (CIS) deductions if you’ve paid too much tax or national insurance. Hire our CIS accountants to claim your tax refund.
What is a CIS tax refund?
Contractors deduct money from your payments and send it directly to HMRC as an advance against your yearly tax bill. If the amount deducted exceeds your actual tax liability, after allowable business expenses and personal allowances are taken into account, you can claim the difference back as a CIS refund.
To do this, you must complete and submit a Self-Assessment tax return that reconciles your income, deductions, and allowable costs.
When will the CIS refund be due?
- CIS refunds are usually due when tax has been deducted under the Construction Industry Scheme, but your actual income is lower after accounting for allowable expenses and personal allowances.
- You may receive a refund because business-related trade expenses reduce your taxable profit.
- HMRC may request evidence to prove that any claimed expenses were genuinely incurred.
- All expenses must be wholly and exclusively for business purposes.
- Do not invent expenses or include personal costs to reduce your taxable profit — this is unlawful.
- Providing false information to HMRC can lead to severe penalties, including fines and potential prosecution.
Why uou might get a CIS refund
A CIS refund typically arises when
Your actual taxable profit is lower than the CIS deductions
made.
You’ve legitimately claimed business expenses that reduce your
taxable income.
Personal allowances mean your tax liability is less than the
CIS deducted.
HMRC requires evidence of business expenses, including receipts and supporting documentation, so using professional accountants helps ensure accuracy and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. You only get a refund if the tax deducted under CIS is more than what you actually owe after counting your income, expenses, and personal allowance. If too much tax has been taken, HMRC gives the extra back.
To claim your refund, you need to file a Self-Assessment tax return. HMRC checks your income, CIS deductions, and expenses. If you’ve overpaid tax, they will send the refund directly to your bank account.
Most CIS refunds are paid within 2 to 8 weeks after filing your tax return. It can take longer if HMRC needs more information or decides to check your expenses.
The contractor deducts CIS tax from your payments and sends it straight to HMRC. HMRC holds this money until you file your tax return, which decides whether you owe more tax or are due a refund.
