Activate the Sage 50 CIS module v2 for the first time
Description

With the Sage 50 CIS v2 module, it's easy to process CIS. Let's look at what it does:

  • Verify subcontractors' CIS details online with HMRC
  • Apply the correct deduction rates to payments
  • Submit HMRC CIS Returns online
  • Make corrections and resubmit amended returns

This module is available to purchase and isn't supplied with the standard software. Once you've purchased a Sage 50 CIS v2 module subscription, you need to activate the module within Sage 50 Accounts. The CIS module is available for £11 per month plus VAT.

If you're activating it for the first time, follow the steps below. If you have the older CIS module, follow these alternative steps to upgrade that module to CIS v2.

If you haven't already done so, you must also register as a contractor with HMRC.,

For these steps, we recommend having your Sage 50 CIS serial number and activation key at hand. You can find these on the email you received when you purchased the CIS module, or by logging into MySage.
