From 1st March 2021 the domestic VAT reverse charge must be used for most supplies of building and construction services.

The charge applies to standard and reduced-rate VAT services:
  • for individuals or businesses who are registered for VAT in the UK
  • reported within the Construction Industry Scheme
The new rules will apply to work such as construction, alteration, repairs, demolition, installation of heat, light, water and power systems, drainage, painting and decorating, erection of scaffolding, civil engineering works and associated site clearance, excavation, foundation works. 

Some works will not be covered, these include professional services of architects or surveyors, or of consultants in building and engineering.
 
Join us to learn if you will be affected, what it could mean for your business and get prepared!
