Report and Submit CIS Deductions

Under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), contractors are required to make specific deductions when they pay their employees. This section describes how to enter the CIS deductions in Payroll > Post Commit Management and submit the deductions in the EPS file.

To report the CIS deductions in Dayforce:

1. Go to Payroll and click the Post Commit Management tab.
2. Click the Tax Month Management subtab.
3. Select the tax month of the legal entity for which you want to submit the EPS file and click Refresh.
4. Select the legal entity record that you’re interested in from the list.
5. Enter the CIS deductions year-to-date values:
   1. Open the Tax Month Preview slide-out panel.
   2. In the EPS Parameters tab, enter the CIS deduction amount in CIS Deductions Suffered YTD. You must enter the cumulative total of CIS deductions suffered for the current tax year up to the selected tax month.
   3. In the EPS Parameters tab, click Save.
   4. Important: Don’t navigate away from the EPS Parameters tab when you save your changes. Saving data in the tab ensures that the data is properly written to the database, allowing accurate amounts to be reported for both the current month and year-to-date.

The CIS deduction amounts that you’ve entered are shown in the Tax Month Preview slide-out panel in the Tax Month Reconciliation tab. You need to refresh the tab to see the latest amounts.

• The Current Tax Month column shows the difference between the previous and the current YTD amounts.
• The amounts shown in the HMRC Payment Summary row include the CIS deductions.

When you’ve reviewed the CIS deduction amounts in the Tax Month Reconciliation tab, you’re ready to submit the CIS data in the EPS file. See Submit EPS Files.

The year-to-date CIS deduction amount is automatically carried forward to the next tax month.
