About this template

This template is designed for completing monthly CIS returns where the client manages the bookkeeping and subcontractor verifications.

The default Work Type is set to Payroll, but consider adding a new Work Type of CIS and assigning this template to that Work Type.

The work goes through the stages:

  • Waiting for Info
  • Preparation
  • Review
  • File

The roles involved in completing the work are: Preparer and Reviewer. The overall ownership of the work changes as the work progresses between the roles involved. Work stages and roles are both customisable.

The template includes best practice automation to ensure it is clear:

  • Which tasks are ready to be worked on (i.e. task status)
  • What the status of work is at any time (so you can get real-time work dashboards)
  • Who is responsible for the work and tasks
  • The priority of work and tasks

The start date for the work is the 6th of the month. The due date of the work is the 19th. The initial work assignee is the Preparer.
