CIS-ready workflows for JCT projects

JCT contracts often run side-by-side with CIS requirements, which means every valuation, deduction and subcontractor payment needs to stay consistent with both the contract and HMRC rules.

Planyard keeps your JCT variations, valuations and retention aligned with accurate CIS deductions, so commercial teams and finance teams always work from the same figures.

Accurate CIS deductions

Every approved subcontractor valuation calculates CIS correctly, with no manual adjustments.

Clean record-keeping

CIS summaries sit in accounting, valuations and payment history in Planyard for easy auditing.

Smoother reconciliation

Contract commitments, retention, variations and CIS deductions all match without re-checking spreadsheets.

Export-ready filings

Keep month-end and HMRC compliance running smoothly.

Problems We Solve

Manual JCT workflows create costly blind spots: mismatched variations, outdated contract sums, missed notice dates, inconsistent valuations and spreadsheets that never agree with each other. Planyard replaces all of this with a single, structured system that keeps JCT, budgets and subcontractor agreements perfectly aligned.
