VAT reverse charge for construction services delayed
There has been a last-minute change to the start date for the VAT domestic reverse charge (DRC) for building and construction services. This was scheduled to begin on 1 October 2019. It is now delayed until 1 October 2020.
The government cites concern that some businesses are not yet ready to implement the change – and possible coincidence with Brexit – as the reasons for the delay. Despite the delay, the government is still committed to the DRC and there has been no change to the detail of the legislation.
