Compliance Reviews Built For Construction

Construction Compliance Review Services
Our construction compliance review examines the key accounting and CIS processes that support your tax reporting and contractor obligations.

Review your accounting records, supplier payments, project costs and tax information to identify issues that could affect the accuracy of your returns.
VAT & CIS Review

HMRC Inspection Preparation
Help organise relevant records and review your processes before an HMRC compliance check, giving you a clearer understanding of areas that may require attention.
The Cost of Poor Compliance
Poor CIS compliance can result in penalties, additional tax liabilities and increased scrutiny. HMRC can request CIS records at any time, and businesses must retain relevant records for at least 3 years after the end of the tax year. White Weaver reviews your CIS processes, accounting records and subcontractor payments to identify potential errors and compliance gaps that may result in the following:
Find Compliance Issues Early
A CIS compliance review gives you an opportunity to identify weaknesses before HMRC does. Our professional construction tax guidance emphasises on reviewing CIS operations, subcontractor verification, deduction rates, materials treatment and supporting records before a compliance review.
- CIS processes: Review how CIS obligations are handled from verification through to reporting
- Subcontractor records: Check verification, deductions, invoices and payment records
- CIS returns: Reconcile returns against the underlying accounting records and subcontractor payments
- Materials: Review how labour and materials costs are identified and supported
- Accounting records: Check whether transactions and supporting documentation provide a clear audit trail
- HMRC readiness: Identify areas requiring attention before an HMRC compliance check
