"Our company has recently started using sub-contractors so I needed more information on how to treat RCT so I signed up for IPASS course. From the initial interaction, I found IPASS to be efficient, friendly and very helpful. The course was extremely interesting and informative. Ciaran was really good at explaining the topic and addressing the many questions he received during the lecture. He is an excellent lecturer. I came away with a much better understanding of RCT and a full manual to refer to when needed. I highly recommend this course."
Principal contractors for Relevant Contracts Tax (RCT) purposes must comply with the RCT rules and regulations and deduct RCT from payments made to subcontractors as required. Principal Contractors must also self-account for the VAT due on construction operations directly to Revenue.
Failure to operate in accordance with the RCT Regulations or account for VAT can result in significant penalties being imposed by Revenue, which could also result in publication as a tax defaulter.
This course will provide delegates with a thorough understanding of the RCT and reverse charge VAT obligations of principal contractors.
