Verify subcontractor records in Sage 50 CIS v2
Description
If a subcontractor is new to you, or hasn't worked for you in the last two tax years, you must verify them with HMRC. This determines whether CIS deductions apply and which rate to use. Deduction rates can be:
  • 30% for subcontractors who aren't CIS registered.
  • 20% for subcontractors who are CIS registered.
  • 0% for subcontractors who have gross payment status.

Once you activate the Sage 50 CIS v2 module and create your subcontractor records, it's easy to verify the subcontractor details with HMRC. Let's get started.
