Built for CIS subcontractors
Invoice your contractors the CIS way, keep every statement they give you, and watch each deduction count towards your tax bill, no spreadsheet, no guessing at year end.
Built and tested against HMRC's test service. Connecting to HMRC and sending updates and returns opens once HMRC approves BusyBee Hub for live use.

Invoicing that works the CIS way
Tell BusyBee Hub your CIS status once. Mark the labour lines on an invoice and the deduction is worked out for you, 20% or 30% on labour only, never on materials. The invoice shows the gross amount, the CIS deduction and the amount payable, on screen, in the PDF and on the link your contractor opens.
Track every CIS deduction
When a contractor pays you, the deduction is recorded against the right tax month automatically. Add the monthly payment and deduction statement they give you (type it in or upload it and let Smart Capture read it), and BusyBee Hub checks it against what you've recorded, flagging anything missing or different.
A live tax estimate that already knows what you've paid
Every deduction is tax you've already paid. Your Self Assessment estimate takes it off what you owe, shows a refund when you've overpaid, and your timeline reminds you when a contractor's statement is due.

At year end
See the CIS box total, every contractor's figures by tax month, and a CSV export, the same evidence HMRC may ask for.
Once you're connected to HMRC and the year's ended
Compare what each contractor reported against your own figures, and send yours where they differ, before your Final Declaration.
