CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNTANTS IN MANCHESTER
SPECIALIST CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNTANTS IN MANCHESER
Construction in the UK is a diverse industry that includes trades such as the construction of infrastructure and buildings, mining, quarrying and forestry, the manufacturing and supply of products, as well as the maintenance, operation and disposal.
As you can see the industry is vast, and as a result of this the construction industry contributes more than £110 billion per year to the UK economy and provides 7% of GDP according to the Government Construction Strategy. Not only does it provide a considerable amount of money to the economy, it also accounts for approximately 3 million jobs, which makes up 10% of UK employment (Construction 2025).
The nature of Construction in the UK is high-cost and high-risk. It relies on the health of the wider economy, such as global economic events, trends in property investment and the governments appetite for launching public infrastructure projects. Therefore, when the economy is struggling, the construction sector usually grinds to a halt. Conversely, when the economy begins to pick up again, the construction industry quickly begins to recover.
Accounting for Construction Companies
With building being one of the most volatile sectors, accounting for construction companies is not only dealing with the usual tax services, but it is heavily reliant on business planning and real-time advice to operate at a profit.
As you know, working in the construction industry rarely has a fixed business structure. Contractors make up the majority of the workforce – they may come and go, working a few hours, or days a week. They may also employ their own sub-contractors. Already, there is a very flexible payroll to keep on top of.
In the UK, we have very specific accounting regulations for construction companies, the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). This requires construction companies to collect taxes from their sub-contractors on behalf of the government. Already, we have a very complex set of tasks to perform.
