I contracted some work to an electrician as it was required for the job. I need to include this in the invoice to the customer. What category is best for recording this?

The electrician is VAT reqistered, so im not taking any deductions from him, I just need a category for the product/service so it matches correctly. Don't really wanted it listed down as materials, or labour as that is my own. Is this what the CIS gross (0%) is for?
Best answer by payment after leaving

Hi psellick8 Is the electrician CIS registered? if so you will have to set up them as a subcontractor and deduct the CIS amount accordingly and you're able to create a specific expese account if you require.

He is Vat registered. He has provided me with an invoice for work and materials he has carried out on a job for me to include in my  invoice to the customer. 

 

Im just looking for a category to mark this under. I don't want to add it as materials as it isn't. And i don't want to mark it as labour as that is what i earn as labour for solely me.

Thank you for the additional details, psellick8.

 

You'll want to create a bill or expense to record a paying subcontractor. 

 

When creating your transaction, select your subcontractor, QuickBooks will use their CIS rate to calculate the CIS to deduct (CIS withheld). If materials are a part of this transaction, you can add these on here too.

Please let me know if you have other concerns.
