CIS Reverse Charge VAT - I invoice my main contractor a lump sum for labour and materials - the labour I use is subcontracted and I buy the materials - how does the materials VAT work out?
Description
Cause
Resolution

CIS invoices should always be itemised to break down labour and materials, and the onus is on the main contractor to ensure this is the case with any invoices issued. This is because Labour is applicable to CIS tax while materials are not.

In terms of VAT, if an invoice includes labour and materials this is deemed a 'mixed supply' and the entire invoice would be applicable to reverse charge VAT.
