Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSetting Up CIS Document Types

Access the CIS Document Information Revisions form.

CIS Document Classification

Enter a value that exists in the CIS Validation Hierarchy (74U/CL) UDC table to give priorities to subcontractors' CIS documents if a subcontractor holds more than one CIS document. Documents with a higher classification code are given priority. For example, if a tax certificate has a classification code of 1 and a registration card has a classification code of 9, the system uses the tax certificate during CIS processing for a subcontractor who holds both documents. The highest possible value is 1 and the lowest possible value is 9.

Warning! Use document classification 9 for Registration Cards (CIS4P and CIS4T). Use document classification 1 for Tax Certificates (CIS5 and CIS6). Using other document classifications produces unpredictable results.

Withholdings Deduction (Y/N)

Select to withhold taxes from any payments that are made to a subcontractor who holds a CIS document of the specified type.

Company Registration Number

Select to require a user to enter a company registration number for the specified CIS document type. For example, you might require a company registration number for CIS5 documents. If you select this check box, the Company Registration Number field is required on the CIS Subcontractor Document Revisions form. If you do not select this check box, the Company Registration Number field is hidden.

Insurance Number

Select to require a user to enter a national insurance number for the specified CIS document type. For example, you might require a national insurance number for CIS4 documents. If you select this check box, the National Insurance Number field is required on the CIS Subcontractor Document Revisions form. If you do not select this check box, the National Insurance Number field is hidden.

Start Date

Select to require a user to enter a start date for the specified CIS document type. For example, you might require a start date for CIS5 and CIS6 documents. If you select this check box, the Start Date field is required on the CIS Subcontractor Document Revisions form. If you do not select this check box, the Start Date field is hidden.

Expiry Date

Select to require a user to enter an expiry date for the specified CIS document type. For example, you might require an expiration date for CIS5, CIS6, and CIS4 documents. If you select this check box, the Expiry Date field is required on the CIS Subcontractor Document Revisions form. If you do not select this check box, the Expiry Date field is hidden.

Acting For

Select to specify that the Acting For field is available for the specified CIS document type. For example, you might display the Acting For field for CIS4 and CIS6 documents. If you select this check box, the Acting For field appears on the CIS Subcontractor Document Revisions form. If you do not select this check box, the Acting For field is hidden.

Trading As

Select to require a user to complete the Trading As field for the specified CIS document type. For example, you might require the Trading As field for CIS4, CIS5, and CIS6 documents. If you select this check box, the Trading As field is required on the CIS Subcontractor Document Revisions form. If you do not select this check box, the Trading As field is hidden.

CIS Voucher Returned (Y/N)

Select to allow payments to CIS6 subcontractors who have not returned payment vouchers (CIS24) for previous payments. If you select this check box, the system does not allow payments where payment vouchers have not been returned. If you do not select this check box, the system issues a warning, but allows payments where payment vouchers have not been returned.

Note. The CIS Pre Withholding Validation (R74U0130) program uses this field during its validation.

This check box determines whether the CIS Voucher Returned (Y/N) option is available for the specified CIS document type. For example, you might display this option for CIS6 documents. If you select this check box, the CIS Voucher Returned (Y/N) option appears on the CIS Subcontractor Document Revisions form. If you do not select this check box, the option is hidden.

Click to jump to parent topicSetting Up CIS Subcontractor Documents

This section provides an overview of CIS subcontractor documents, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to set up CIS subcontractor documents.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding CIS Subcontractor Documents

Enter CIS subcontractor documents to record the registration cards (CIS4) or tax certificates (CIS5 and CIS6) that are held on behalf of each subcontractor. These cards and certificates authorize subcontractors to work in the construction industry. No payments are allowed to any subcontractors who do not hold one of these cards or certificates.

The system enables you to enter multiple authorized users and the CIS documents that are held by each on behalf of a subcontractor.

Important! Under the CIS, you must see the authorized user's original CIS document before making a payment to a subcontractor. A copy is not acceptable.
