Frequently asked questions

Do plumbers fall under CIS?

Often, if you subcontract for a contractor. If CIS is deducted from your pay, use the CIS tax calculator instead.

How is my self-employed tax worked out?

On your profit — income minus allowable expenses. You pay income tax above your personal allowance, plus Class 4 National Insurance on profit above the threshold.

What can I claim as expenses?

Costs incurred wholly for your work — tools, materials, travel, phone, insurance and more. Keeping them recorded reduces your taxable profit.
