With the Sage 50 CIS v2 module it's easy to process CIS. Let's look at what it does:

• Verify subcontractors' CIS details online with HMRC
• Apply the correct deduction rates to payments
• Submit HMRC CIS Returns online
• Make corrections and resubmit amended returns

Once you've purchased a Sage 50 CIS v2 module subscription, you need to activate the module within Sage 50 Accounts. If you haven't already done so, you must also register as a contractor with HMRC.

Below we'll run you through how to activate your new CIS module in each of your companies, whether this is for the first time, or if you are upgrading an older CIS module you already have.

TIP: For these steps we recommend to have your Sage 50 CIS serial number and activation key at hand, which you can find on the email you received when you purchased the CIS module, or by logging into My Sage.

Activate the Sage 50 CIS module for the first time  

If you've never used the original CIS module before, and you're activating it for the first time, follow the steps in our Activate the Sage 50 CIS module for the first time guide.

 NOTE: It's not possible to activate the Sage 50 CIS module, if the regional settings on the computer is English (Ireland).
