Reverse charge VAT often looks intimidating because the words sound specialised. The daily question is simpler: who accounts for the VAT on the transaction?
Explanation
Under a reverse charge, the supplier may not charge VAT in the normal way, but the VAT still needs to be reflected correctly in the records and return logic.
Real example
A business receives a supplier invoice for a service under reverse-charge treatment. The cash paid matches the net amount, but the VAT effect still needs to appear in the right boxes.
What to do in practice
Flag reverse-charge transactions clearly, use the right VAT code from the start, and review the draft figures before assuming the cash movement tells the whole story.
