How specialist construction companies file

Specialist contractors often work under CIS for main contractors. Retentions held back by the customer still count towards turnover once the work is done.

Every company on these pages is an active private limited company that files small or micro-entity accounts. Each one has to deliver accounts to Companies House within 9 months of its year end, pay corporation tax 9 months and 1 day after it, and file a CT600 with HMRC within 12 months.
