The problem

Under the Construction Industry Scheme the deduction comes off the labour element of what a subcontractor charges, not off the whole invoice. Materials the subcontractor bought for the job are left out. Get that split wrong and you either over-deduct and the subcontractor chases you, or under-deduct and HMRC does.

Then there are the dates. The monthly return and the payment to HMRC each have a statutory deadline, every month, whether or not it was a busy one. Missing either is a penalty, and a spreadsheet does not remind anybody.

How Estimark handles CIS

Each subcontractor invoice is split into labour and materials, and the deduction is worked out on the labour only. The statutory payment dates are built in, so the return and the payment are on the calendar before the month starts rather than remembered after it ends.

AI-drafted RAMS

The same subcontractors need a RAMS before they start. Estimark drafts the risk assessment and method statement for the job with AI, for you to check, change and sign off. A first draft to work from instead of a blank page.

Xero and QuickBooks sync

Estimark syncs with Xero and QuickBooks, so what you deduct and what you pay lands in the accounts without being typed in twice.

Questions

Is CIS deducted on materials?

No. The deduction applies to the labour element of the invoice. Materials the subcontractor paid for are excluded, and Estimark works the deduction out on labour only.

Which dates are built in?

The statutory dates for the monthly CIS return and the payment to HMRC. They are in the calendar every month without anybody adding them.

Does it sync with my accounts package?

Estimark syncs with Xero and QuickBooks.

Does it work on site?

There are native iPhone and Android apps, and site capture works offline: photos, forms and notes taken with no signal go up when the phone next has one.

Is the trial free?

Yes. Every monthly plan starts with 14 days free. A card is needed to start it.
