Your CIS tax.

The problem

Most subbies are leaving money on the table.

You're getting 20% deducted from every payment. That money sits with HMRC. And when tax time comes, most lads have no idea how much they're owed back — or they're paying an accountant hundreds just to find out.

Missing expenses and mileage alone could cost you £1,000+ in unclaimed deductions every year. That's money you've already earned.

And it's only getting more complicated. Making Tax Digital is rolling out — and it affects every self-employed subcontractor in the UK.

😤

No idea what you're owed

You know HMRC have your 20% — but what's the actual refund? Most subbies find out too late, or pay an accountant to tell them.

🧾

Expenses lost and forgotten

Tools, PPE, fuel, phone — all claimable. All reduces your tax bill. But if you're not tracking it, you're not claiming it.

📅

MTD deadline creeping up

Making Tax Digital is mandatory. Paper records and spreadsheets won't cut it. The clock is already ticking.

I was working on the tools, getting 20% pulled off every payment, handing receipts to an accountant once a year and hoping for the best. There had to be a better way — so I built it.

Making Tax Digital

MTD is coming. Are you ready?

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is HMRC's biggest shake-up for self-employed workers in years. Digital records become mandatory — and the rollout is already underway.

April 2026 — Live Now
Earnings of £50,000+ gross
MTD is already mandatory above this threshold.
April 2027 — 10 Months Away
Earnings of £30,000+ gross
Most established subbies will hit this threshold.
April 2028
Earnings of £20,000+ gross
Nearly every self-employed subcontractor will be in scope.
⚠️ Important: HMRC count your gross invoice — before the 20% CIS deduction. If you're billing £35k and taking home £28k, you still cross the £30k threshold. More subbies are in scope than they realise.

The tax calculations use current HMRC rates — personal allowance, income tax bands, Class 4 NI, and CIS deduction logic. It's designed to give you a solid working estimate. Always confirm the final figure with a qualified accountant before filing.
