We have a retail kitchen company that we provide kitchen fitting services for (as a sub-contractor under the CIS). They want to retain a £1000 bond from ourselves but have agreed that they will deduct a £40 bond payment from each of our invoices until the £1000 has been reached. The bond will be returned as a later date (or if the contract is terminated etc). Currently we send them an invoice with a CIS labour standard 20% service amount on it. The company deducted the CIS on this full amount and then deducts £40 before paying us. Eg Full amount = £1682.29. CIS amount deducted (20%) = £1,345.83 £40 bond deducted: Money paid to us = £1,305.83 How do we set up our invoices / accounts to when we receive the payment of £1,305.83 it matches our invoices? Also, how do we keep a track of the £40 deductions so we know how much the kitchen company has in terms of bond money from us?

Hello AJGriffin100, Thanks for your question. How have you recorded the 1000 bond from yourselves in QuickBooks?Are you wanting to record it as a decreasing asset ?
