Application for payment.

Build an interim application for payment the standard way: value the work to date, take off retention and what has already been certified, then apply VAT and the CIS deduction to get the net sum due. Print it or save it as a PDF to submit.

This is a general guide, not advice. It provides an automated, first-pass application for payment and may not reflect your contract or circumstances (contract-specific retention, discounts, contra charges, fluctuations, valuation rules and payment notices may change the figure). Always check the figures against your contract, and verify your CIS status and the correct VAT treatment with HMRC or your accountant. It is not legal, tax or professional advice and is not a substitute for a qualified solicitor, accountant or commercial professional. You must verify any figure before relying on it. Lintl accepts no liability for any loss arising from reliance on this tool.
