Accounting for CIS suffered

After submitting payroll FPS and EPS reflecting CIS suffered to HMRC I’ve paid the balance to HMRC via a direct debit. After matching that payment to HMRC payroll liabilities I’m left with a balance sheet entry for HMRC payroll liabilities which (unsurprisingly) matches the CIS suffered. How do I reflect the ‘benefit’ of CIS suffered in my accounts?

Hi, did you see my (sadly late) reply to your post? I've still got a problem.


Thank you for following up, Gonzosgone.

 

Yes, I appreciate the details you've given us about this.

 

The CIS suffered summary would show the CIS deductions withheld by contractors. Since it included the journal entry you created for HMRC payroll liabilities, I suggest you consult an accountant for additional guidance on how to properly account the journal entry. 

 

That being said, there may be additional accounts that needs to be debited and credited to clear the balance sheet while making sure your reports for CIS suffered are accurate.

Hello Gonzosgone, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

So you can journal it out, to show it, if you are not sure how to do the journal and need assistance with creating the journal entry then you will need to speak to an accountant and they will be able to help and advise you how to do it.

So I journal a debit from CIS suffered to HMRC Payroll liabilities? If I do that the balances look correct but obviously when I run a CIS suffered report the reduction in CIS suffered is reflected. I'm concerned that when I generate next months EPS for CIS then the cumulative CIS suffered totals reported to HMRC will be incorrect. Am I being neurotic or am I doing something wrong?
