Scaffolding & plant hire
Asset-heavy balance sheets, hire income and depreciation done properly.
An asset business, not a service business
Scaffolding and plant hire companies are balance-sheet businesses: the value is in the kit, the income is rental, and the tax position turns on how the assets are treated. Get depreciation and capital allowances right and the numbers work. Get them wrong and the tax bill is wrong every year.
What we do differently
- A proper fixed asset register, with allowances claimed on every purchase
- Hire income recognised over the hire period, not on invoice
- Utilisation by asset type, so you know what to buy next and what to sell
- CIS and reverse charge where you also supply labour to erect and dismantle
- Funding structures for fleet expansion, and lender reporting
Common issues we inherit
Assets on the register that were sold years ago. Allowances unclaimed on hire-purchase kit. Labour supply treated as outside CIS when it isn't.
