Frequently Asked Questions

How does the process work?
- We find out how much CIS income you’ve earned in the tax year/s that you are claiming for
- We identify and calculate the total value of your allowable expenses
- The inland revenue deduct this figure from the annual salary that you were paid.
- This gives your real income figure.
- They then refund the extra tax that you paid on your additional income

How much can I claim back?
