THE VAT REVERSE CHARGE MECHANISM
The Chelco VAT International Academy continues its series of high-level VAT educational events with a morning
seminar focussing on the mechanics of the Reverse Charge Mechanism.
The Managing Director of Chelco VAT and Lead Instructor of the Academy, Alexis Tsielepis, together with fellow
Director, Panayiotis Panayi, will analyse when the reverse charge is used, how it works and how it should be
reflected in the books and VAT returns of taxable persons in Cyprus. The seminar will cover the different scenarios
where VAT must be discharged through reverse charge with relevant examples for discussion.
The seminar is open to any professional with exposure to VAT matters under the following scenarios:
- Intra-community trade of goods;
- Receipt of services from abroad;
- Domestic reverse charge transactions (e.g. services in the construction industry, sale of scrap metal);
- Transactions where the supplier is not established in the Member State of supply;
- Trade of goods with triangular simplification.
