CIS submissions work differently to VAT. HMRC keeps the CIS submission period open, so you can send more than one submission for the same period.

Each new submission replaces the previous one.

Make sure all your CIS transactions are correct for the period you need to resubmit, then create the submission again:

1. Go to Reports, then select All reports.
2. Under Construction Industry Scheme Reports, select CIS Monthly Returns.
3. Select Create CIS Return.
4. Choose the correct From date and select Continue.
5. A new tab opens with the CIS Return Details.
6. Select Create CIS Return again and check the transactions.
7. After reviewing, select Submit to HMRC.
8. Check the Terms & Conditions box and select Submit.
9. Enter your HMRC credentials and select Sign in & Submit.

HMRC can take a few minutes to respond. When your return submits successfully, you get a confirmation message.

If you don't get a response within five minutes, Sage Accounting returns you to the CIS Monthly Returns List. Refresh the screen for updates.

If your submission fails, select Close and try again. For more information, read CIS Return submission errors.
