Tax & Returns
vs the bolt-on CIS/VAT filer
UK construction tax handled as a built-in engine, not a plug-in. CIS and the Domestic Reverse Charge are computed on every line, VAT-100 and CIS300 are generated from the general ledger, and returns submit to HMRC Making Tax Digital with the mandatory fraud-prevention headers.
Why it wins
- CIS and Domestic Reverse Charge (DRC) computed by a built-in engine
- VAT-100 and CIS300 generated from the general ledger, not re-keyed
- HMRC Making Tax Digital submission with the required fraud-prevention headers
- Basis-point VAT and integer pence — reconciling, auditable figures
