How do I enter a subcontractors invoice into VT - I must have to put in the total amount of the invoice before CIS is taken off?
And if I enter the full amount, how do I pay this invoice off if only the figure after CIS is paid off by the cheque/bacs payment and then a seperate payment is made for all the CIS tax all together.
Sorry probably simple stuff but I can't get my head around it!
I set up a subcontractor costs account and debit the gross amount to that, credit CIS to CIS tax due and net to Suppliers account which will match the cheque/payment to the supplier. Not sure if it's absolutely correct but accountant is happy with it and everything matches off when CIS is paid over too.
So do you enter an invoice into the subcontractors supplier account for the gross, then make a journal DR subcontractor supplier account and CR creditors - CIS due??
Sorry I am being a bit think and don't quite understand the entries for this
Hi Rachel
I key the invoices in the usual way (- so the gross to supplier - subcontractors nominal code)
Then I key a Credit Note to the supplier but change the nominal code to one for CIS tax that Ive set up eg 2212.
Then when I pay the subbie I link the Invoice and CN to the payment.
When I pay PAYE I link PAYE payment to that nominal code and the CIS portion to 2212 (as above)
Hope that makes sense - it took me a while to get my head around it when I first started - I even had a bit of paper with the transactions listed on it as it wasnt one I keyed often so wasnt sinking in!
