Reverse VAT Charge Guidance

The reverse VAT charge is due to go live from 1st March 2021.

We are both a contractor and sub contractor in the construction industry and come under the CIS payment rules. Most of our clients are end users but we could work for a non end user. A lot of our suppliers fall under the CIS scheme and the reverse VAT charge will apply to invoices that we now receive from them.

Is there a tutorial available to help us deal with these changes within solar accounts?

Hi Mark,

Just to let you know that the latest version of Solar Accounts makes it
much easier to apply the reverse charge: In the invoice window click More
Options > VAT Treatment > Domestic Reverse Charge Applies. Solar Accounts
will then show the VAT amount to be paid by the customer to HMRC in the
[Free Text] field.
