Materials you fronted
Felt, battens, tiles, lead and fixings you paid for up front.

A worked example
Say you were paid £38,000 over the year as a roofer, with CIS deducted at the standard 20% and a typical rooferexpense profile. Here’s roughly how it works out.
- Paid before deductions
- £38,000
- Expenses (trade avg)
- £9,500
- Taxable profit
- £28,500
- Tax + NIC due
- £4,142
- CIS deducted
- £7,600
- Estimated refund
- £3,112–£3,804
Estimate — confirm before you file. Illustrative figures for a £38,000 year — your real numbers will differ. Not a guarantee. You can also claim free at gov.uk.
