Thanks for checking in with us, lee_treble-hotma.

We'll need to turn on the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) feature. This way, QuickBooks will calculate your CIS deductions, track your CIS withheld or suffered amounts and create the necessary reports for HMRC. With CIS turned on, we'll calculate everything for you. Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon.
2. Choose Account and Settings.
3. Click Advanced.
4. Select Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).
5. Enter your info.

Then, we’ll create the accounts you need to be able to track it. That means, when you create CIS transactions we’ll calculate the CIS withheld. To create an invoice, follow the steps below:

1. Tick the New Plus icon.
2. Select Invoice.
3. Choose a contractor/subcontractor from the customer dropdown. This tells QuickBooks that it’s a CIS transaction and will automatically select the correct CIS account for you based on your CIS rate.

I'd like to know how you get on after trying the steps, as I want to ensure this is resolved for you. Feel free to reply to this post and I'll get back to you. Take care always.
