FAQs - Construction Sector
What is the role of an accountant?
An accountant helps manage your finances by overseeing income, expenses, and tax obligations. For the construction sector, they provide specialized support, such as handling CIS compliance, VAT reclaims, Xero payroll, and project cost tracking to keep your business profitable and compliant.
Is it a legal requirement to have an accountant?
No, it’s not legally required to have an accountant. However, construction accounting can be complex, and having an accountant helps ensure you stay compliant with tax laws, avoid penalties, and make informed financial decisions. Also, specialist accountants like MH Services can offer advice and guidance on basic accounting.
Do I need an accountant if I am self-employed?
While it’s not mandatory, an accountant can be very beneficial for self-employed individuals in construction. They can help you manage CIS, claim expenses, and handle tax returns, allowing you to focus on your building projects rather than your finances or accounting needs.
Can I run a business without an accountant?
Yes, but having an accountant saves time and reduces the risk of costly mistakes. An accountant’s expertise is particularly valuable in construction, where tax rules and compliance requirements can be complex. So whether you are a plumber, electrician or a subcontractor, making the right business decision is important.
How long does it take to get a CIS number?
The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) number is essential for contractors and subcontractors in the UK construction industry. Typically, once you’ve registered for the CIS with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), it can take up to two weeks to receive your CIS number. If you haven’t received your number within this timeframe, it’s advisable to contact HMRC for an update.
