Thanks for reaching out to us here in the Community, @NAMIK HAZIZI.

I'll guide you through verifying your subcontractor. Here's how:

Go to Expenses from the left menu.
Select Suppliers.
Find and click the supplier's name.
Go to the Supplier Details tab.
Click Edit.
In the Supplier Information window, check the Is subcontractor.
In the CIS Information section, enter his UTR no., National Insurance no., verification no., CIS rate, and subcontractor type.
Click the Verify link. This way, HMRC will tell you all the necessary information when you verify your subcontractor, including his CIS rate.
Choose Save.

If you haven't added your subcontractor, you can perform the steps through this article: How to Add Contractor or Subcontractor.

For more information about the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) in the program, here's a great article you can refer to: CIS in QuickBooks.

That's it. Should you have any other concerns, you can always go back on this thread. Thank you and have a wonderful day, @NAMIK HAZIZI.

This information is not correct. I wanted to get information on how to VERIFY a Sub Contractor....

In the information returned it says enter the information including the verification number. What is the point of that? I don't have the verification number.... That's what I wanted to find out how to do.

Not much help this information what so ever.

I can share some information about the verification number when verifying a subcontractor in QuickBooks Online (QBO), John.

You can get your verification number from your contractor. After entering the information in QBO, you can proceed to click the Verify subcontractor link. This will allow HMRC to provide you with all the necessary information when verifying your subcontractor, including their CIS rate.

You can follow the steps provided by my colleague above on how to verify a subcontractor.

I'm adding these helpful articles to learn more about the CIS feature in the program:
