Works the way you do
Does it work out CIS for me?
It applies the rate you've set for that subbie to the labour element you enter. It's a record, not tax advice - always verify subcontractors with HMRC.
Can I see retention across all jobs?
Yes. The Subcontractors tab shows retention held for each subbie and in total.
How do I get it after paying?
You'll get a download link straight away on screen and by email. It's a normal Excel file.
What if it is not what I needed?
Email within 14 days and I will refund you.
