CIS Subcontrator

So I have a client that has just become a CIS contractor. I have a couple of the subcontractors he uses already in Quickbooks. It says to just alter them and tick box so they are then CIS subbies. My issue is that some of these people do both construction work and normal labour. I cant seem to create an invoice for this normal labour after they are ticked as CIS subbies. Do I have to create a separate supplier name for one company (seems ridiculous) if they do this to counteract this issue? As it wont let me choose any other nominal code than a CIS one when entering an invoice.

Example

Subcontractor Labour Nom5015  £1000

CIS Labour                  Nom6000 £5000

Total                                              £6000

CIS Deduction                               £1000  (20% of £5k)

Pay                                                 £5000

Thanks for visiting the Community today, Courtney-Acc.

 

You'll no longer have to create a separate supplier name for one company. Instead, you'll have to set up the normal labour as an item and use it when creating an invoice.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Head over to the Sales section and click on Products & services.
  2. Next, select the New button and choose either Non-stock or Service.  
  3. Enter a Name for your product or service.
  4. From the Category dropdown, pick the category that best fits your product or service.
  5. Make sure to check the box that says I sell this product/service to my customers. If you don’t sell this item, you can leave it unchecked.  
  6. In the Description on sales forms field, type in a description—this is what your customers will see on their sales forms.  
  7. Enter an amount in the Sales price/rate field.
  8. Choose the income account you want to use for tracking the sales from the Income account dropdown.
  9. If you need to keep track of VAT, select the right option from the VAT dropdown.
  10. When you're done, select Save and close.

After setting up everything, create the invoice and add the normal labour to the entry. If you continue to get the same result, can you send a screenshot and provide the error message? This will give us a clearer picture of what happened to the transaction.
