I cannot find a way of creating a credit for a contractor (supplier) who has CIS deducted. NOTE: the credit note is dated in the same CIS period as the original invoice.

Hi kbriddon,

 

Thanks for joining in on this thread. CIS is not handled in the same way as VAT on the system - as CIS is deducted from the invoice and is not paid by the contractor to you like a customer would for VAT, you're not able to credit this, since you didn't receive this in the first place it's not possible to refund. 

 

If you do need to credit a CIS invoice we would advise contacting your accountant for advise, as they may be able to input a journal to close the invoice. 

 

Thanks again!

Hi there, PBS_117,

 

You're unable to select a CIS when you create a credit note. You'll want to create an expense to record the CIS payment. This way, it will show on your CIS report.

 

Let me show you how:

  1. Click + New, then choose Expense.
  2. Select a subcontractor from the supplier drop down. This tells QuickBooks that it’s a CIS transaction and will automatically select the correct labour account for you based on this subcontractors CIS rate.

I've added these articles to help you manage CIS payments in QuickBooks Online:

Should you need anything else, don't hesitate to leave a comment below. I'm always around to help.

When a subcontractors credit is entered on the cis amount is not being calculated like it does for a invoice ?
