Question

Anyone else had problem submitting CIS return via QB? I was stating password was incorrect. It wasn't. I had to submit via HMRC website. Checked qb settings and correct.

Hi gcj1971, we don't currently have any reported issues with the CIS submissions - have you previously submitted a CIS return via QB successfully? Please check when entering the password that this is being typed manually and not copied/pasted, and that there are no blank spaces entered before/after. 🙏

Never had a problem submitting before today. I tried manually entering correct password too. I just had to file via HMRC website with same log in details with no problems. I have same issue with submitting Next Contributions. QB Use to submit them fine. Then suddenly got error message saying couldn’t find a matching schedule date. I tried fixing with Nest, but still getting error message. I was told by QB it was an error with Nest.  I gave up, as NEST said it was software problem. I just manually submit to Nest. Not happy about it, but I can’t fix the error myself.

Hi,

Ive just had the same issue and have been submitting CIS return via QB for over a year. I’ve always used a 9 digit password which has not changed and still works on HMRC / GovGateway. But QB says I need to enter a password of 10

or more digits. Does not make sense.

I appreciate your effort going through GovGateway to see if your password works, @Tracey c. I also wish you didn't have to go through all these hurdles when submitting CIS return through QuickBooks Online. 

 

I understand the convenience of being able to submit your CIS returns on time. Since this involves your password, we’re unable to check it here for security reasons. I’d like to turnaround this experience by routing you to the right support. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help icon.
  2. Select the Search tab and click Contact Us.
  3. Enter a brief description of your concern.
  4. Select either Start a chat or Get a callback.

 

Please know that  our chat support experts are available all day from Monday - Friday. You can also call us from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM during Monday-Friday and 8:00 AM to 6:00 pm on Saturday - Sunday. 

 

As a workaround, you’ll want to file it manually via HMRC. You can visit this website: HMRC

 

You can read through this article for more details about filing Constructions Industry Scheme (CIS) return directly to HMRC in QuickBooks Online: How to submit a CIS return.

 

I’ve included this reference to help you record CIS suffered and submit the figures to HMRC: Record Deductions Suffered under CIS in QuickBooks Online.
