On the 1st March the delayed Domestic Reverse Charge is due to start (although it has been delayed twice already).

This will impact businesses in the construction industry. Not only will it change how you invoice (or are invoiced) but it will impact the cash flow of affected businesses and right now, that is the last thing a lot of UK businesses need.

It is important you understand these rules. Make sure you speak to your bookkeeper or accountant to ensure you are ready.
