Construction Contract Workers
IPS 2 LTD what we do for you
We liaise with your agency or end-client and provide them with all the necessary documentation required We submit the monthly and annual CIS returns which confirm the tax deductions that have been made. You will be ready to invoice once we have processed your application and confirmed your tax status. We will send you a Welcome pack with your contract that you need to sign and return to us. If you are contracting for the first time, tell your agency or end-client that you are working through a limited company. Provide us with their details, and we will forward all necessary documentation directly to them.
If you are working through an agency on their PAYE system, tell them that you wish to offer your services through a limited company. We will liaise with them to ensure a smooth and efficient change in your status, and deal with any contractual changes, then work as normal and send your timesheets to your agency - advising us of the details by phone, fax or email to enable us to raise an invoice on your behalf. You are responsible for your own tax assessments, and as a self-employed contractor you are able to claim legitimate business-related expenses

Our fee is 4% of each invoice raised (exclusive of VAT) subject to a minimum of £5. There are no joining or termination fees. - Must I be registered as self-employed?

We run payments every day of the week, except for UK Bank holidays. Your payment is processed on the day we receive the funds from your agency or end-client, which will arrive with you 3 days later. If you require us to CHAPS the money (same-day payment) to your bank account there will be a CHAPS fee of £25 deducted from your payment. - Can I claim expenses to offset my taxable income?
Yes. As a self-employed individual, you will submit an annual tax return. You are entitled to claim legitimate expenses related to your occupation against your annual tax return. - What should I do with my timesheets?
