What is excluded before applying CIS?

HMRC says contractors start with the gross invoice and take off VAT plus qualifying amounts the subcontractor paid for directly, before applying the verified percentage. Ask for evidence where appropriate and give a payment and deduction statement within 14 days after the end of the tax month.
