The new reverse charge VAT rules – is your business up to speed?
As of 1 March 2021, more than 150,000 businesses connected to the construction industry need to make a fundamental change to the way they manage their VAT processes.
The reverse charge applies to business-to-business supplies where both businesses are registered for VAT, there is an onward supply of construction and the parties are subject to the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).
We can provide you with the latest advice on reverse charge VAT and ensure that your accounting systems and software can deal with the reverse charge
