If you work in the Construction Industry under ‘CIS’ and are VAT registered under the new ‘domestic reverse charge for VAT’, then this event is for you.
As you may have heard, HMRC are introducing the Reverse Charge for Constructions Services from 1 October 2019. This is the HMRC approach to counteracting fraudulent VAT reclaims.
A survey conducted by The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) of around 8,000 construction small and medium enterprise (SMEs) members found that 69% were not aware of reverse charge VAT at all. Of those who were aware of the reverse charge, 67% have not prepared for the changes.
The FMB said that while larger construction companies will have in-house finance teams to handle implementation, construction SMEs and sole traders, which make up 9% of the one million construction firms operating in the UK, will have to do this whilst also running their business.
Find out from leading CIS expert, Neil Owen, what this means for your business and the way you invoice your customers, and pay your suppliers.

1. When and when not to charge VAT on your CIS work
2. The new rules starting 1 October 2019 for VAT registered business working under CIS
3. Expected changes which include ‘zero rating’ VAT on invoices and the possible cash flow implications that will result from this
