>Classroom training>VAT Reverse Charge for Construction Services
Course overview
In March 2021, major changes were introduced to the way VAT is accounted for in the construction sector. Under the domestic reverse charge rules, businesses supplying certain construction services no longer account for VAT - instead, the responsibility shifts to the recipient of the service. This change applies to supplies that fall within the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and is a significant shift in compliance and accounting procedures.
This practical and informative course provides a clear, step-by-step guide to understanding the VAT reverse charge mechanism. It explains when and how the reverse charge should be applied, how it affects your VAT returns and the administrative processes required to stay compliant.
By joining this course, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to apply the reverse charge rules accurately, helping your organisation avoid costly errors and manage compliance efficiently.
