Q. How do I produce a P30-style report for my client showing what to pay to HMRC, including bank details and the reference to quote? (if not using BrightPay)

A. BrightCIS doesn’t produce a P30-style report, but you can achieve the same result in two steps:

1. Get the CIS amount from BrightCIS
   • Run the Analysis > CIS Summary report (your usual Monthly CIS Return / CIS Deductions report for the tax month, 6th–5th).
   • Note the total CIS due to HMRC for that month.
2. Present this using your own template (outside BrightCIS)
   • Use a simple Word/Excel/email template called something like “CIS Payment Summary (P30 equivalent)”.
   • In this template, include:
     • The amount due (from the CIS Summary report)
     • The tax month/period
     • HMRC bank details
     • The client’s Accounts Office reference to be quoted on payment

A. We have received some feedback from customers about an issue where reports downloaded from BrightPay are set to portrait orientation but still appear in landscape or vice versa. Our development team is aware of this and is working to resolve it as soon as possible.

BrightCIS calculates the CIS liability, but HMRC controls the payment references and bank details. For this reason, payment instructions are issued separately using your own template rather than as a built‑in P30 report from BrightCIS.
