What the Subcontractor Tracker does
Record each subcontractor with their UTR, verification status (gross, net or unmatched), insurance, licence and card expiry dates. "OK to pay?" tells you if anything is missing or out of date. Log each payment with labour and materials separately and the CIS deduction is worked out on labour only. Monthly Returns shows the figures for each CIS300, including nil months, and you can print a statement for each sub.

Subcontractor Tracker FAQ
Does it file my CIS300?
No. It gives you the figures for each monthly return – you still file it online with HMRC.
Is this for subcontractors?
No – it is for contractors who pay subcontractors. If you have CIS taken from your pay, see our CIS Tracker.
Can it tell me if a sub should be an employee?
No. It has a check column to remind you, and points you to HMRC’s employment status guidance.
Do I need Microsoft Excel?
No. It works in Microsoft Excel, or free in Google Sheets.
Is it a subscription?
No. It is a one-off payment and the file is yours to keep. There are no monthly fees.
I’m not good with spreadsheets. Is this for me?
Yes. You type into the yellow boxes and everything else works itself out. There are no formulas to write, and the PDF guide walks you through it.
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes. Look through the screenshots above. Your download includes a filled-in DEMO copy and a full PDF guide as well as the blank spreadsheet.
Does it work on a Mac, iPad or phone?
Yes on a Mac: use Excel for Mac, or open it free in Google Sheets in your web browser. On an iPad or phone you can open it in the free Excel or Google Sheets app, but a computer is easier for setting it up.
Can I get a refund?
Because it is an instant digital download, I can’t offer a refund once the file has been downloaded. If the file is faulty and I can’t fix it, you were charged twice, or you received the wrong product, I will put it right or refund you. See the Refund Policy. This doesn’t affect your statutory rights.
How do I get my file?
It is an instant digital download. You will get a download link straight after checkout, and by email.
