Resolution

Activate CIS

When you activate CIS for your business, new CIS categories get added to your chart of accounts.

Once CIS contacts are set up, these contacts will automatically apply CIS deductions.

NOTE: You can only be a CIS subcontrator in Accounting Start. You'll need to upgrade if you need to set up as a CIS contractor.

Select More, then Business Settings.
Under Financial Settings, select Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).
Select I'm CIS Registered.
Select I'm a Subcontractor.
Enter your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR).
Select your Deduction Rate.
Select Save.

CIS categories

Accounting will create all the required CIS categories for you and add them to your chart of accounts. We'll use the next available nominal code in the range for each section of your chart of accounts. For example, in the sales category, if 4910 is the last code used, we'll use 4911 for CIS Labour and 4912 for CIS Materials.
