Books here — CIS300 elsewhere.
Construction accounting software in the market often bundles CIS verification, CIS25 and CIS300 filing. SwiftBooks Pro is the ledger: invoices, optional reverse-charge rate, projects on Business+, bank CSV. It does not call HMRC to verify subcontractors, does not auto-split 20/30 CIS deductions and does not file CIS300.
