Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) nominal codes
Summary
What each CIS nominal code is used for in Sage 50 Accounts.
Description
When you activate the CIS module in Sage 50 Accounts, this creates several default nominal codes for you to use when you process CIS transactions.
Resolution
When you activate Sage 50 CIS, you can specify your own CIS nominal codes to use or use the default set by the software.
To view your current CIS nominal codes:
- On the menu bar click Settings, then click Company Preferences.
- Click CIS, then click View/Edit Nominal Codes.
Lets take a look at which nominal codes are created and used by default:
| Nominal code | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 6000 | CIS Labour | Use to post labour transactions. |
| 6001 | CIS Materials | Use to post materials transactions. |
| 6002 | CIS Other labour | Use for any labour you want to differentiate from the main labour nominal code. |
| 6100 | CIS Other Materials | Use for any materials you want to differentiate from the main materials nominal code. |
| 2101 | CIS Tax | The tax automatically posts to this nominal code when you pay the CIS labour invoices. |
| 2102 | CIS Tax Liability | The tax automatically transfers from the CIS tax control account into the tax liability when you submit the CIS Return. You can then post the payment to HMRC using this nominal code. |
| 8200 | CIS CITB Levy | Use to record any CITB Levy. |
NOTE: If you've already used any of the suggested nominal codes, or any of the codes are missing, you should create a new code and journal over any balances if required.
