To stop the introduction of reverse VAT, BCSA has been supporting Build UK's campaign calling for Reverse VAT to be withdrawn. This campaign started on Build UK's social media channels on Monday 1st February and on BCSA's own channels Tuesday 2nd February.
The aim of this Campaign is for the Chancellor and the Government to understand the full implication that reverse VAT will have on our industry if it is introduced on 1st March 2021.
To support BCSA's campaign and to see and hear our staff and member views please visit us on Twitter and LinkedIn.
