When you pay your subcontractors, Sage 50 CIS automatically calculates the deductions you need to make and posts the required credit notes. This means you can be sure that the deductions you make are accurate and nothing is missed.

Posting invoices from subcontractors is largely the same as for any other supplier. You can post purchase orders and batch invoices as you normally would, the only difference is the nominal codes that you use. You must use the CIS nominal codes that you set up when you activated the Sage 50 CIS module.

When you pay your subcontractor, the required deduction is made from the labour elements of the invoice, nominal codes 6000 and 6002 by default.
