If further postings affect the CIS Return values after submitting, you must resubmit the return. The steps are the same as the original submission, just choose the relevant Tax Month.

  1. Click Subcontractors then click CIS Return.
  2. Select the required tax year in the View subcontractor payments for Tax Year dropdown.
  3. Select the period in the Tax Month dropdown.
