Gateway Solver Desktop
HMRC-recognised since 2004. CIS filing from a Windows desktop: CIS300 monthly returns and subcontractor verifications, without logging into the Government Gateway by hand every time. Nearly 10,000 companies and their agents file with it.
Features
- CIS300 monthly returns and subcontractor verifications
- Import from CSV or Excel, or drive it from payroll or an in-house system
- Fill in, transmit, and automate uploads to HMRC
- Returns history, reporting, and emailed submission receipts
- Government Gateway credentials stay on your machine
- Annual licence, kept current, with no hidden fees
The same installer covers a smaller firm verifying subcontractors and filing CIS300s, and a payroll bureau that wants the uploads driven from the system it already runs. Government Gateway credentials stay on the machine that files.
CIS300s filed through commercial software do not appear on HMRC’s own portal. That is an HMRC limitation. See why a CIS300 is missing from the HMRC dashboard.
Install
Step-by-step: install Gateway Solver. The same file installs and updates:
https://download.evolvedsoftware.com/SetupGatewaySolver.exe.
Version 2.95 and later use https://gatewaysolver.evolvedsoftware.com. Allow
*.evolvedsoftware.com and HMRC / Government Gateway hosts on TCP 443. Checksums are in the
release notes.
HMRC recognition
HMRC lists Evolved Software Studios Ltd for Gateway Solver and Insite 123 on its CIS commercial software suppliers page. Insite 123 is the earlier product name. The desktop sold now files CIS. Recognition means the product has filed a valid CIS300. It is not an HMRC endorsement.
