Relevant Contracts Tax (RCT)

Relevant Contracts Tax (RCT): reminder

Voluntary Housing Associations are principal contractors within the scope of RCT. You are obliged to register for and to operate RCT on payments to subcontractors. As principal contractors in receipt of construction services you are also obliged to register for VAT in order to account for VAT on construction services received from subcontractors.

Members could face severe penalties and liabilities for non-compliance. Please contact Kathleen Mc Killion, Head of Development for more information and as required, seek professional advice.

For further information, please contact Kathleen McKillion, Head of Development on 01 6618334 or kathleen@icsh.ie.
