VAT: reverse charge for renewable energy certificates

The measure will introduce a reverse charge for supplies of renewable energy certificates.

▤ Verbatim text from source document

This is an anti-fraud measure which removes the opportunity for fraudsters to charge VAT and then go missing before paying it over to the Exchequer in Missing Trader Intra-Community (MTIC) VAT fraud.

You can find more information on how this measure will work in Revenue and Customs Brief 4 (2019): VAT - domestic reverse charge for businesses trading in renewable energy certificates.
