We have been approached by two of our clients who use quickfile for their invoicing. They both fall under the construction industry and are having issues with getting paid by their customers because of the wording on the invoices. When they generate a new sales invoices and tick the box to apply the CIS reverse charge it adds the line which says “VAT reversal”, however when they save and preview this invoice it is changed to “CIS Reverse Charge”.
Their customers are saying that they cant pay it because it is not a CIS reverse charge its a VAT Reversal. Is there any way we can change this?
I know CIS and DRC are different. and I know the end user pays it. I can also see that QF is handling the reverse charge correctly from an accounting point of view.
My issue is with the wording on the invoice. We are applying the VAT reverse charge to the invoice but quickfile is changing the wording of this to CIS Reverse charge on the invoice. Therefore our clients customers are refusing to pay any the invoice, because its not a CIS reversal, its VAT.
Perhaps quickfile can advise on the wording. But personally I feel its an issue with your end client not understanding the wording.
It is a cis reversal because it only applies to vat registered cis contractors.
Cis deductions arnt reversals so to me there’s no confusion there either.
But as I say I guess ultimately it comes down the quickfile deciding on the wording. Maybe there’s a css class you can alter to change the wording I’m not sure
Hi, I would like to get some help on issuing an invoice to a subcontractor with the VAT reverse charge.
I have followed the steps that are shown on quickfile and it shows as VAT RESERVE -20% and as soon as I save and go to preview and sent it changes it to CIS REVERSE.
My accountant said that they cannot accept it as it looks like a wrong invoice.
Can someone please help, what am I doing wrong here?
