Just a reminder for anyone with clients within the construction industry that the Domestic Reverse Charge comes into operation on the 1st March, more fun to be had by all!

I know you have a few clients in construction, how have you found it so far? I have two it will affect, an electrician and a fence erector. The Electrician is currently on flat rate but will be moving to standard VAT on 1st March. The fence erector isn't doing a lot at the moment as he has a medical condition but I was worried for him as he's hopeless at cashflow, and relied on the VAT element.

Hi John
I have 3 clients it will affect, I have emailed them what to include on their Invoices and where the DRC will come into play but will be expecting quite a few emails and phone calls over the next few months, I just feel it is another thing that accountants are having to deal with along with everything else going on, I seem to be spending more and more time answering phone calls and emails than I do on actual bookkeeping and accounts which was never my intention nor something that I enjoy, and we still have the budget to look forward too!

I've got 6 clients that will be directly affected by this, including my current biggest client. I wrote a simplified guide for them all, and gave personalised advice based on how it was going to affect their individual businesses. I'm still expecting a lot of questions for the first six months, but overall I'm sure it will be fine once they get used to it, and for some who won't have VAT bills anymore I think it will be quite welcome!
