Enter your idea

As I suggested nearly a year ago, I can cost Subcontractors adequately without using the CIS system but it is now getting to the point where I have to spend a whole day every month reconciling the entries for the CIS return. This is almost as slow as manual and I would have expected a re-write by now.

I agree with others that xero needs to fix this ASAP so that you can choose the assigned nominal code and not jus the 2 nominal code that zero as assigned.

We are still wasting a lot of time moving costs manually - I suspect this is a relatively easy fix for the software developers.

Agree with above comments. This really is basic accounting 101, madness this wasn't implemented from day one.

Who do you guys get to test your idea's. They are terrible at their job whoever they are.

We are having a similar problem. Our clients are asking to classify CIS labor in different cost heads so that they can analyze the reports, but we have the option to deduct CIS only when we use the CIS labor code otherwise, we can't deduct. So, this issue must be taken up by the Xero development team and sort it out.

We really see a need for this to allow us to report our CIS costs correctly within the profit and loss reports

We have clients who different sorts of CIS work - some zero rated some DRC 20% some DRC 5% and it would be great if we coudl have different codes for differnt work that all deducted CIS

This is really important to us as spend a lot of time posting journals to move different types of costs out of CIS labour expense and to subcontractor type costs. Our P&L's need to report on the different CIS costs and it is very time consuming as it is.

I would like to be able to use different nominal codes for different sub contractors as I would like to see them under different headings in the profit and loss. Journals seems the work around, but easy to get wrong. Different codes would be fantastic

I would like this feature for construction retention. Currently I am accruing the retention each month because the Gross should show in the P&L but if I could put retention to the B/S and have CIS tax deducted from that code it would save the hassle to accrue I could put retention straight to the retention liability code,

I am coming at this from a different angle. We already have our separate nominal codes but we don't use the C.I.S. procedures; it's easy to handle at the moment but, as we start more projects our list of subbies will increase so anything that allows multiple cost headings whilst keeping the C.I.S. functionality would be great. If we could set up a range of Nominal Codes in a block that can re reported that might do the job.

This is at times very important on Projects, as the purchase order to the Sub Contractor to allow them to see the cost and the deductions for a job. We then should be able to translate this into the bill to be able to pay once the service is complete. The other companies do the same on their software, and as the orders grow, so does the amount of time we have to spend doing the paperwork,

Provide the option to add new codes and enable CIS deductions. This will allow more granular breakdown of costs without having to do a journal to move them.
E.g. - nominal codes for bricklayer expense, plumber expense, electrician expense etc which automatically do CIS deduction.
