Take the stress out of CIS compliance. From verifying subcontractors to monthly return submissions, we provide expert support for construction businesses in Sunderland, Durham, and throughout the North East.
If you work with subcontractors, CIS can quickly become more than a monthly admin task. We help contractors stay on top of verification, deduction statements, monthly returns and HMRC deadlines, with clear support from a North East accounting team.

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) can quickly become time consuming if you work with subcontractors. From verifying subcontractors to calculating deductions and submitting monthly returns, there are strict HMRC rules to follow.
At LSC Accounting, we help contractors stay compliant by managing the process clearly and accurately. You will know what has been submitted, what needs to be paid and what happens next.
We handle the verification of all new subcontractors with HMRC to ensure you apply the correct tax deduction rates from day one.
Accurate calculation and timely submission of your monthly CIS returns, ensuring you never miss a deadline or face avoidable HMRC penalties.

For subcontractors, we assist in offsetting CIS deductions against other tax liabilities or claiming year-end refunds from HMRC.
The aim of our CIS service is to ensure your construction business remains fully compliant with HMRC’s strict regulations without creating an administrative burden for you. By combining North East local expertise with a deep understanding of the UK construction sector, we help you protect your cash flow and focus on the job site.
