Course Details

This practical session is aimed at accountants who advise on a wide range of property-related transactions, where RCT considerations are often missed. The webinar will offer clear, hands-on guidance on the application of RCT, its interaction with VAT, and potential exclusions. It will also highlight common errors seen in practice and suggest strategies to reduce the risk of penalties.

 

Janette Maxwell will cover: 

  • The meaning of ‘Construction Operations’ and ‘Principal Contractors’ 
  • Overview of the electronic RCT system (eRCT) 
  • RCT obligations for non-resident principal contractors 
  • Treatment of maintenance and repair contracts 
  • Common pitfalls and the penalties that may arise 
  • The “own use” exemption and how it operates


By attending, delegates will gain the confidence to recognise when RCT applies and ensure their clients remain compliant, helping to avoid costly penalties.


This session is particularly relevant to accountants involved in any aspect of property transactions.
