How do you record a CIS invoice payment when a bond has been retained?

We work for a company where they deduct £50 from our invoice amount to retain as bond which we will get back at a later date.  So when we receive payment it looks like £50 is overdue on the invoice and I want to record it as fully paid but also have a note of how much bond has been retained.

I also want to make sure the correct CIS tax has been deducted / recorded due to this reduction of £50.  How do I check this as well?

Eg. £500 invoice, minus 20% tax = £400 to be received (£100 CIS tax)

£500 invoice minus £50 bond = £450, minus 20% tax = £360 to be received (£90 tax).

So I want to make sure the CIS statement is only showing as £90 CIS tax deducted and not £100 CIS tax deducted.

I then went to show £360 received and then £50 in a bond account. 

We use cash account so want to make sure we don’t pay tax on the £50 bond until we receive it (in terms of that P/L of the account).

Hope that makes sense?  Thanks

How do you record a CIS invoice payment when a bond has been retained?

Hi accounts-gapreno If you would like the total of the invoice to be 500 using a 20% CIS deduction, the deduction being 90, you'd have to: Enter a line amount (CIS labour standard (20%)) of 450 this would give you a CIS deduction of 90, the CIS is deducted from the labour only. You'd then have to add an additional line for an amount of 50 e.g CIS materials, this line item wouldn't have any CIS deductions allocated to it, the balance due of the invoice would be 410. 

As you have received 360 as 50 is being withheld you would have to: select receive payment on the invoice , in the deposit to field enter/select the undeposited funds account, save and close. Select New+, select Bank Deposit, ensure the account selected within the Account field in the top left-hand corner is the bank you receive the net/360 amount, the date is the date you received the amount into the bank, select the box on the left-hand side of the invoice showing, in the 'Add funds to this deposit' section select/create an asset account relating to the 50 amount bond, in the amount column enter-50, the amounts are field should be No VAT, the total/net amount will show as 360, save and close. 

When the company forward you the 50 you will create a bank deposit and in the 'Add funds to this deposit' section enter the asset account that you used in the deposit above, in the amount field enter 50.00, enter No VAT in the Amounts are field, save and close.

We have also enclosed a link explaining how to account for the above.https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-uk/help-article/bank-deposits/record-make-bank-deposi...
