Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with scrap metal trade bodies about reverse charge VAT.
HMRC meets with a variety of trade bodies as part of its general approach to assessing and tackling non-compliance, including the British Metals Recycling Association (BMRA). This has included discussing ways in which HMRC can provide guidance to BMRA members about spotting VAT fraud.
