I am fairly new to book keeping and having successfully got my head around SAGE 50 our company have upgraded to use CIS. We are a new company and have only just registered for CIS ourselves.
I have been going round and round in circles trying to figure out how to post an invoice that includes CIS. I have activated this part of the software but having read the pdf on CIS am none the wiser. My invoice box looks the same in subcontactor as it does in supplier so how do I post the CIS portion of the invoice???
Any help would be gratefully recieved as I am totally lost!!!!!
It's a long time since I last saw the CIS module, and then only briefly. If there isn't a field on the invoice line (via the module) for CIS deductions, there's probably a button along the top to batch-enter CIS deductions. However, my distant memory is telling me there should be a field/column when entering invoices*. Are you sure you can't see it? Have you tried right clicking on a column heading to get Sage to allow you to select which columns are visible?
* Or possibly something on the invoice line to distinguish between materials and labour, with the CIS automatically calculated on labour amounts.

I have another look at the screens. I need to post the invoice to be able to pay it. on the subcontractor invoice screen I can only post to Nominal Codes for CIS Labour or Material. Do I have to work out the amounts and post the CIS part on the subcontactor screen and the rest on the normal supplier screen??? There is nothing on the supplier payment screen as I havent posted the invoice!!!???
The invoice should show the labour and materials separately, to enable you to post them appropriately and calculate the CIS tax (which is only applied to the labour amount). So, from the CIS screen you should be able to post the whole labour amount as labour, and the whole materials amount as materials.
If the invoice doesn't break it down like that, chase the subcontractor for an invoice that does - and if he doesn't provide one, treat the whole lot as labour.

You don't need to post the amount of the deduction when you post the invoice. When you pay the subcontractors invoice the cis module calculates the deduction and posts it to the cis control account. Deductions are calculated on the labour amount only. You should have nominal codes set up within the module for cis labour (6000) and cis materials When you run the cis300 monthly return it will transfer the total for the month to the cis liability account.
