As a contractor you must submit a monthly CIS Return to HMRC, detailing any deductions. Submit returns within 14 days of the tax month's end. For example, for the tax month ending 5 June, HMRC must receive the return by 19 June. 

If you're unable to submit using Sage 50 Accounts, you can submit using HMRC's CIS online service.

The steps apply to the Sage 50 CIS v2 module. If you make any amendments to previously submitted periods, you can also resubmit amended CIS Returns.

To check if you're using the new module, on the menu bar, click Help then click About. Under Features Enabled, check that CIS v2 shows Yes.

If you're not using the module yet, leave your details and we'll be in touch. 

Submit via the HMRC CIS online service

If you submit your return via the HMRC CIS online service, you must record this in Sage 50 Accounts.

3. Select the required tax year in the View subcontractor payments for Tax Year dropdown.
4. Select the period in the Tax Month dropdown.
