Most estimating tools are American: dollars on every line, sales tax where VAT should be, no idea what CIS is. WinkScope prices in pounds, applies 20% or 5% VAT per line, handles the domestic reverse charge on subcontract work, tracks CIS deductions per subbie and holds retention until practical completion.
Set 20%, 5% or zero rate per line rather than one flat rate on the whole job. Mixed-rate work — a reduced-rate conversion with standard-rate extras — comes out right on the quote, the application and the invoice.
Mark a customer as CIS-registered and end-user status flows through to the invoice, with the reverse charge wording and a zero VAT charge instead of a manual note bolted on at the end.
Record 20% or 30% deduction status against each subbie, apply it to labour only, and keep the gross, deduction and net figures on the record so monthly returns are a read rather than a rebuild.
Hold a retention percentage against each application for payment, release the first half at practical completion and the balance at the end of the defects period, with the outstanding balance visible on the job.
Build a price book off Screwfix, Travis Perkins, Jewson, Wickes pricing, update rates once and re-price every open quote instead of retyping them.
An accepted quote becomes a live job: programme, tasks, site photos, day-work records, variations and staged invoices, all against the same numbers you quoted.
Yes. Where the customer is CIS-registered and not an end user, the invoice applies the reverse charge: no VAT is charged, the required wording appears on the document, and the VAT the customer must account for is shown for reference.
You can record each subcontractor's verification status and deduction rate (20% registered, 30% unregistered, 0% gross), apply the deduction to the labour element only, and see gross, deduction and net on every subcontractor payment record.
Job pricing is. Set GBP as your company currency and quotes, invoices, price book, reports and PDFs all render in pounds. The WinkScope subscription itself is billed in USD worldwide.
Yes — set a retention percentage on the job, and each application for payment holds it back automatically, with the released and outstanding amounts tracked to practical completion and the end of the defects liability period.
It is built for small firms first. Sole traders and small builders use the quoting, invoicing and job tracking without touching the programme or subcontractor tools until they need them.
