Automate CIS calculations

Xero automatically calculates the right amount of CIS deductions on your invoices from your mobile, and bills and invoices from your desktop, the moment you create them. You can get back to business.

A desktop computer displays a list of the CIS scheme deductions calculated for the subcontractors of a building firm.

File monthly CIS returns

Submit CIS scheme returns with a click in Xero’s CIS accounting software. File your monthly return directly from Xero to HMRC. All the data is taken from one convenient, accurate and secure source.

CIS construction scheme returns display on a screen ready to submit to HMRC at the end of the month.

Verify subcontractors

Use the advanced functionality of the CIS add-on to check and verify your subcontractors online. Add or import them as contacts, then confirm their SVN and their CIS scheme deduction rate with HMRC.

A screen in the CIS add-on shows a list of contractors ready to be checked and verified online.

Send statements directly

Email construction industry scheme payment and deduction statements to subcontractors directly from the CIS accounting software in Xero. Send statements to your subcontractors in bulk to save time.

A statement showing CIS construction scheme payments and deductions is ready for emailing to a subcontractor.
