Mark a sale as CIS or VAT reverse charge

What does this do?

For construction-industry customers the sale can be marked as a CIS job, with the VAT reverse charge and a CIS deduction on the labour, so the document carries the right HMRC wording and the right amount payable.

How to use it

  1. On Sale / Till, under CIS / reverse charge, press the button that reads Not a CIS job.
  2. In CIS & VAT treatment, answer Is this job subject to CIS? with Yes.
  3. Answer Does the VAT Domestic Reverse Charge apply to this job? by picking the treatment that matches the customer.
  4. Set the CIS deduction rate and the CIS-applicable labour & services (net £). Press Break it down to split it into Fitting (net), Floor preparation (net), Other CIS-applicable services (net) and Non-CIS items (net).
  5. Press Save. The button now shows the treatment, and the totals gain VAT subject to Reverse Charge, CIS deduction and Amount payable.
  6. Take payment for the Amount payable. The receipt prints with the HMRC wording.

Add fitting labour and CIS or reverse charge to a quote

Fitting labour can be its own line on a full quote, and for contractor work the quote can show a CIS deduction or the VAT reverse charge so the amount payable is right.

Turn VAT on or off for a sale

One switch decides whether VAT is added to this sale. Use it when a sale genuinely carries no VAT; the default rate lives in Settings.

Making a Sale

Add a new customer

New customer saves someone to the book before you have sold to them, so their details are ready to drop onto a sale or quote later.

Set CIS deduction and the VAT reverse charge on a job

For commercial and subcontract work, tell PlanIt whether the job is under CIS and whether the VAT domestic reverse charge applies. The quote then states the VAT and the CIS deduction the right way round. Leave it off for ordinary domestic jobs.

Raise an invoice

An invoice is raised either from an accepted quote or straight from the Invoices screen when there was no quote. It gets a number, a due date and appears in the Invoices list so you can see what is paid and what is owed.

Add a manual line or a whole-job line to a sale

Two ways to type a line yourself: a manual line for a single priced item, or a job / estimate line that prices a whole job as one figure with a description that prints exactly as typed.
