CIS deduction

[gazzamikes]

Good evening, ive recently been carrying out work for a local company, big mistake! I had to work away for a day. a day price agreed then a fuel supplement on top, when he paid me I was deducted on the fuel money too, is this correct? ive ben trying to find information on the hmrc website but am struggling. thanks guys & girls

you should only be deducted tax from the labour part of the invoice you give him.

thank tel, I try to avoid all this cis by billing customer directly but had no choice this time

and make sure the bugger gives you a ticket showing the tax deducted.

For future reference you need to show the labour charge as a seperate line - this way they haven't got any excuses for deducting 20% on everything.
