HMRC Guidance: Domestic reverse charge procedure (VAT Notice 735)

  • HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) provides comprehensive guidance on the domestic reverse charge (DRC) VAT procedure, an anti-fraud measure applicable to the buying and selling of specified goods and services within the UK, including mobile phones, computer chips, wholesale gas and electricity, emission allowances, wholesale telecommunications, and renewable energy certificates.
  • The DRC shifts the responsibility for accounting for VAT from the supplier to the customer for these specified supplies, requiring businesses to understand specific invoicing requirements, VAT return completion, and checks on customer VAT status, particularly for mobile phones and computer chips which have a £5,000 de minimis limit.
  • The guidance details what is covered and excluded for each specified category, outlines procedures for both suppliers and customers, and provides instructions on managing various accounting issues, including adjustments, bad debts, self-billing, and interactions with different VAT accounting schemes.
