Construction Industry Scheme (CIS - UK Only)

Modified on Thu, 21 Nov at 5:05 PM

WorkGuru supports the ability to generate purchases for CIS related subcontractors and send them to Xero. Xero will automatically calculate and apply the CIS deductions as required.


The CIS rate for a supplier can be selected from the dropdown on the supplier add/edit page:


In order to send CIS purchases to Xero, the supplier in Xero must first be marked as CIS-enabled otherwise an error will be received. If a supplier does not exist in Xero, WorkGuru will create them for you, however you must still manually mark the supplier as CIS-enabled in Xero as that is not possible through the API.
