Join us this February in Chester to find out more about the VAT Reverse Charge soon to be effective from the 1st October 2019.

From the 1st October 2019, the way VAT is accounted for in the construction industry is going to change dramatically.

The VAT reverse charge will prevent main contractors paying VAT down the supply chain.

Whether you are the end client, contractor or sole trader, come and join us on 28th February to hear from industry experts on how the changes will affect you, how to remain compliant and how to minimise the impact to business.

If one exciting taxation topic wasn’t enough…. you’ll also hear all about IR35 in the private sector!

With requirements for a flexible workforce ever increasing we look to see how responsibilities of employers and their contracted staff are due to change over the next 12 months.

In case you missed this event…

At over 2,500 business failures per annum, the construction sector accounts for the greatest number of registered insolvencies of any sector in the UK.
In response to this, Constructing Excellence is kick starting a new industry wide conversation in construction around organisational resilience, which follows the release of their latest research report ‘The Organisational Resilience of The UK Construction Industry: Are We Built on a House of Cards?’ Written by Project Five Consulting and published by Constructing Excellence, this research report presents an overview of how resilient the industry is in relation to a range of internal and external factors.

This event will update members on Construction Design and Management Regulations, highlighting confusion within the industry concerning all responsibilities. The Regulations are no longer an ACOP but a Guidance note and place the responsibilities clearly with the Client and Principle Designer/Contractor, however this can often fail to be implemented as commitments within tender documentation, are sometimes drafted by third parties and not communicated to the actual contractors implementing the works, which can therefore become a Health & Safety issue in itself. This creates cost implications, angst within the project team, affects KPI’s and future framework contracts.
Innov8’s CDM-Advisors have been able to regularly prevent such occurrences for CEC tenders/projects.
