    VAT Changes in Construction!

    Has the VAT Reverse Charge Scheme put a hole in your Cashflow? Recent changes have meant that, rather than add VAT to Construction Invoices, collect this from the payer, and pay it over to HMRC - the onus is now on the payer to make payment directly to HMRC.

    An expert Retentions team who can really Raise the Roof!

    Retentions Experts CRS go over and above for a Yorkshire Roofing company and recover 158% of their ledger…

    CRS were appointed by the liquidators of a roofing company in west Yorkshire with an outstanding sales ledger of £180,000. On further investigation attending offices and spending days searching the books and record, CRS discovered retentions due to the company in excess of £250,000 which had not been documented or recorded. None of the retentions had been collected during the entire existence of the company.

    Once collections had been made and retentions that were not statute barred had been recovered, CRS collected a total of £285,000 against what had been advised as a £180,000 ledger. Returning 158% of collections against original company books and records.

    Do Any Of These Sound Familiar To You?

    • OVER AND ABOVEYou’ve done a great deal of extra work, on a job, “on trust”, only to find out you have been “shafted” in the final account!
    • VALUATIONThe valuation of the work you thought you had agreed isn’t reflected in the payment you have received.
    • BRICK WALLYou can't get through to anybody who is able, or willing, to discuss your account with you.
    • ADMIN ERRORThe variations you have agreed, done and documented, haven’t been paid for due to an “administrative error” and you’ve just missed the “payment run”.
    • LATE FIGURESYour employer’s QS is late in providing his figures.
    • PROMPT PAYMENTHow many times have you given a discount for prompt payment – and then been paid late.
