What makes construction accounting different?
As an experienced IR35 accountant, we understand the unique challenges the construction industry faces when it comes to accounting and tax obligations, especially regarding IR35 legislation and UK tax legislation.
We’ve done it all, whether it’s the intricacies of IR35 rules, the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), or balancing payroll for subcontractors and temporary workers while ensuring compliance with national insurance contributions and income tax requirements.
Before IR35 reforms, you may not have had to pay PAYE or national insurance for contracted workers, depending on if they were “deemed workers.” Now, if operating inside IR35, you’ll be responsible for making the deductions for tax and national insurance contributions before paying your contracted workers through PAYE.
Having a dedicated accountant by your side means you stay fully compliant with IR35 rules, manage your tax liabilities effectively, and keep HMRC satisfied.
