Tax, CIS and Making Tax Digital for self-employed tilers

Tax, CIS and Making Tax Digital for self-employed tilers Most tilers are paid two ways. Tiling for a builder on a new build, extension or bathroom refit is construction work, so CIS comes off your labour. The same bathroom tiled for a homeowner who pays you direct has nothing taken off, and Making Tax Digital counts both, before any deduction. HMRC lists tiling among the finishing operations that complete a construction project, alongside kitchen and bathroom fitting and floor screeding. So tiling you do for a builder or developer as part of building work is usually covered. Tiles, adhesive, grout, trims and tanking: materials for the work you sell. Wet saw, tile cutters and mixing drill: equipment you keep and use in the business. Usually, when the tiling finishes building work for them. HMRC lists tiling among the operations that complete a construction project, so it is treated like the rest of the job. Read the full guide for tilers, with every source, at rightotax.co.uk.
