Please note: Check this with your accountant to make sure they’re happy with this method. I take no responsibility for your accounts or CIS process.
If accountant is not happy with this method as CIS is not a tax, expects another column in addition to the VAT, can this be done?
Not with ServiceM8 – at that point you’re probably better approving as is from ServiceM8 to your accounting package and then making the invoice look as you want it to in your accounting package.
