HOW DO I CREATE A CIS INVOICE

Hi there, @haworthelectrica,

To create CIS invoices in QBO, you must first turn on this feature to calculate your CIS deductions, track your CIS withheld or suffered amounts and create the necessary reports for HMRC.

Here's how:

1. Tap the Gear icon and select Account and Settings.
2. Click to expand the Advanced section.
3. Go to the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), and mark the Enable CIS box.
4. Enter all the information then press Save and Done.

Next, add a contractor to start processing CIS invoices. Here's how:

1. From the Sales menu, proceed to the Customers tab.
2. Click on New customer.
3. Fill in the Customer information window and pick CIS contractor.
4. Enter their UTR number in the Tax info tab.
5. Hit Save.
6. Find the contractor in the customer list to confirm they are added successfully.
7. To process invoices, select New transaction on their profile.

Why can we create cis invoices in the app? 

Hi Lawrence, 

The function is not available on the app, that is why you cant do a cis invoice in there, you have to do it on a web browser instead. The app is meant to be used on the go for basic things, you still have to do certain things on the web version of QuickBooks. I will pass this comment on to our product engineers and it maybe something that they bring out in the near future. 

Hi I can’t find the advanced search to get through to the enable cis bit after I’ve pressed the gear icon
