Since 2021, this charge has applied to VAT-registered businesses that supply specific construction services to other VAT-registered businesses and are required to issue an invoice declaring that the service is subject to the domestic reverse tax. Recipients may recover the VAT amount as input tax.
Because of this fairly new charge, businesses should ensure they have the right construction accounting systems in place that can handle reverse charge supplies and regularly verify that supplies and purchases are accurately processed.
For expert and efficient accounting for construction projects or property development companies, get in touch with our team today. At Duncan & Toplis, we strive to provide specialist construction accounting services across a variety of industries and businesses.
A construction accountant specialises in managing the finances of businesses operating in the construction industry. This includes handling project costing, cash flow forecasting, compliance, payroll, budgeting and financial reporting. A construction accountant can also help contractors improve profitability, manage subcontractor payments and stay compliant with up-to-date HMRC regulations.
Construction bookkeeping can be more complex than standard bookkeeping because of the way projects and subcontractors are managed. Accurate construction bookkeeping helps businesses keep track of costs, monitor profit margins, manage cash flow and maintain compliance with the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). Having specialist support can also reduce errors and save time.
Professional accounting for contractors provides clear financial insight into your projects and overall business performance. By understanding costs, margins and cash flow more effectively, contractors can make better decisions, improve profitability and plan for future growth. Specialist accountants can also advise on tax efficiency, business structure and long-term financial planning.
