Builders, electricians, plumbers and other tradespeople often work under the Construction Industry Scheme, where contractors deduct 20% or 30% from payments to subcontractors who are not paid gross. Those deductions, plus vehicles, tools and materials, need careful treatment in your accounts and tax return so you claim everything you are owed.
