This feature allows you to efficiently monitor in-transit stock, providing real-time insights into stock movements. This transparency ensures accurate tracking and streamlines your inventory management. Businesses can now make informed decisions about stock levels and transfers, optimising operational efficiency and minimising delays.
Introducing the CIS Payment and Deduction Statement
Zoho Inventory now offers support for the CIS Payment and Deduction statement, a crucial addition for organisations utilising the Construction Industry Scheme. This feature simplifies the process of managing payments and deductions, ensuring compliance with CIS regulations. Contractors can easily generate detailed statements, providing a clear breakdown of deductions and payments made to subcontractors. With the introduction of this update, businesses can enhance accuracy, streamline financial processes, and maintain compliance seamlessly within Zoho Inventory.
Here’s what will change in the app once you enable this preference.
Taxes Under Settings: A new field Employer Reference Number (ERN) (For example, 012/AB12345) will be displayed.
Vendor Creation Page: Enable CIS tracking for this Sub-Contractor checkbox. Once this is checked, a new field Verification number (For example, V1234567890) will be displayed, which is required if the deduction rate of the respective subcontractor is high.
Vendor Statement Page: If the selected vendor is CIS Registered, the CIS statement will be displayed under the View option in the Statement tab.
Business benefits of the new CIS Payment and Deduction statement
Enabling the CIS Payment and Deduction statement feature in Zoho Inventory provides businesses in the construction industry with several key benefits. Firstly, it ensures compliance with CIS regulations, preventing any issues related to tax deductions. The simplified process of generating and managing CIS statements within the system enhances accuracy and reduces the likelihood of errors. This streamlined functionality not only saves time but also provides a transparent and organised view of payment deductions made to subcontractors. Ultimately, businesses can maintain regulatory compliance effortlessly, promote financial transparency, and streamline their financial operations.
