I am doing my first online submission of a CIS return. I thought I understood it but a little confused due to a report from the accounts programme a client is using.
HMRC require the total payment made to the sub contractor, cost of materials, and total tax deducted. If subcontractor earnt £400 and was subjected to 20% deduction then the payment made to him would be £320. So are the figures on the return £320 for total payment (nil for materials) and £80 tax deducted?
I am confused because the CIS report on the accounts software list the figures as £400 and £80
