If you’re a construction worker, plumber, joiner, groundworker or any type of trade under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), you might be owed some money back. Many contractors and subcontractors pay more tax than they should, and that’s why it’s important to check if you’re due a CIS tax rebate. We've built this easy-to-use CIS tax rebate calculator to give you an estimate of how much your CIS tax rebate could be worth.

Just answer a few quick questions and we’ll tell you how tax much you could claim back. We’ll need to know:
Under the CIS (Construction Industry Scheme), contractors take 20% of your pay for tax before it even hits your account. But here’s the thing — there’s a good chance you’ve been taxed more than you owe.
Why? Well, it could be due to how you’ve registered for CIS or because you’ve been covering work expenses out of your own pocket.
Many people working in construction don’t realise they can claim back for expenses like tools, travel, or meals when working away from home.
Bought your own gear? Driven to different sites in your own vehicle? Stayed overnight on a job? These kinds of costs can reduce how much your income is taxed.
Beyond simply getting some cash back, checking if you’re eligible for a CIS tax rebate means you’re not paying more tax than you need to. These expenses can make a big difference in your net take-home pay, and many workers miss out because they’re not aware they’re eligible to receive a refund.
So, don’t leave money on the table. If you’ve spent your own money to do your job, it could be due back to you. Our calculator is the easiest way to find out how much you’re owed.
The standard Personal Allowance for the 2024/25 tax year is £12,570. If you qualify for this, as most people will, it means that you won’t pay a penny of Income Tax on your earnings until you hit that threshold. In other words, if you’re earning over £12,570, only your income above the threshold will be taxed.
