VAT Services for the Construction Industry
Like direct taxes, the construction industry is also the subject of specific and targeted VAT measures. As the use of recruitment businesses by the construction industry increases, it is vital that construction businesses are well informed on VAT especially on matters like the Domestic Reverse Charge and labour supply due diligence.
From denying a business credit for input tax to withdrawing a construction company’s VAT registration altogether, HMRC’s powers where they suspect a VAT failing are wide ranging and potentially devasting for businesses.
With the stakes so high, construction companies need access specialist and accurate VAT advice, drafting and representation. This is where Chartergates tick every box. We have the technical legal expertise to advise construction companies on how to satisfy the specific VAT challenges they face. What’s more we are also able to provide robust and expert advocacy if representation at the tax tribunal is required.
