Remittance Advice for Subcontractors

Generate and send professional Remittance Advice PDFs to your subcontractors in seconds. This new CIS Manager feature helps subcontractors reconcile payments and deductions, while saving you time and admin headaches.

Domestic Reverse Charge for CIS

If you’re a UK contractor or subcontractor dealing with VAT, the Domestic Reverse Charge (DRC) rule can be a bit of a minefield. This post explains what DRC is, when it applies, and why HMRC introduced it — all in plain English. Plus, see how CIS Manager now automates DRC invoicing to help you stay compliant and save time.

Timesheet Import

Contractors often maintain weekly or monthly timesheets for all their subcontractors. Until now, this involved manually entering details like invoice dates, hourly rates, labour hours, materials, VAT rates, and more for each individual subcontractor. It was repetitive, time-consuming, and left plenty of room for manual errors.

Today, we’re introducing a new feature that streamlines this process: CSV Import for Timesheets.

The Accountants’ Dashboard

We’ve now got a good number of accountants using CIS Manager to handle CIS for multiple clients. The feedback’s been brilliant – lots of praise, plus some smart feature requests. One popular suggestion was a dashboard to see all clients and the status of their CIS returns at a glance.

Easily Import Subcontractors via CSV

Manually entering subcontractor data? That’s a thing of the past. With CIS Manager, you can import subcontractors in bulk using a simple CSV file - saving time, reducing errors, and keeping your CIS compliance on point. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.

Invite Your Team to Your Organisation

We're excited to roll out a new feature in CIS Manager that makes it easy to give your colleagues access to your organisation, so they can help manage your CIS responsibilities.

Whether you're in the same office or spread across different locations, your team can now work from a shared view of your CIS data — including subcontractor records, returns, payment verifications, and more.
