Create a CIS invoice in Sage Sole Trader

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

Create a Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) invoice in Sage Sole Trader to show CIS deductions for a contractor and calculate the net amount due.

Description

Create a CIS invoice for customers marked as CIS contractors.

When you create a CIS invoice:

  • You choose a CIS deduction rate for the invoice
  • You mark labour line items as subject to CIS
  • Sage shows the estimated CIS deduction and total after CIS

NOTE:

Sage only records the CIS deduction when you record a payment for the invoice.

▼When to use CIS labour

CIS deductions apply only to the portion of the payment that excludes the subcontractor’s material costs. This amount is commonly called CIS labour, and it can include:

  • Labour
  • Travelling expenses (excluding fuel costs)
  • Subsistence paid to or on behalf of the subcontractor
