Domestic Reverse Charge for Construction Services: A Guide for Businesses

• The Domestic Reverse Charge (DRC) for construction services shifts VAT responsibility from the supplier to the customer.
• The DRC applies to most supplies of building and construction services made to VAT-registered businesses in the UK.
• The DRC does not apply to supplies to non-VAT registered customers, zero-rated services, or supplies to end-users who do not make onward supplies of the construction services.
• The DRC impacts cash flow for subcontractors as they will no longer receive VAT on their invoices.
• Businesses need to update their accounting systems and invoices to reflect the DRC.
• Businesses need to ensure compliance and provide training to employees on the DRC.
