Create a CIS invoice in Sage Sole Trader

Description

Create a CIS invoice for customers marked as CIS contractors.

When you create a CIS invoice:

You choose a CIS deduction rate for the invoice
You mark labour line items as subject to CIS
Sage shows the estimated CIS deduction and total after CIS

NOTE:

Sage only records the CIS deduction when you record a payment for the invoice.

▼When to use CIS labour

CIS deductions apply only to the portion of the payment that excludes the subcontractor’s material costs. This amount is commonly called CIS labour, and it can include:

Labour
Travelling expenses (excluding fuel costs)
Subsistence paid to or on behalf of the subcontractor
