ConstructionSoftware Feature Gap3MediumSole Trader / Subcontractor
After migrating to QuickBooks Sole Trader Plus on QuickBooks' advice, the user lost the ability to deduct CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) tax from the mobile app and is forced to use the desktop version instead.
The upgraded version of QuickBooks removed a critical mobile feature (CIS tax deduction) that was previously available, forcing the user to switch to desktop, which disrupts on-the-go workflows.
