Invoicing-intensive sector

One rejected progress claim, and a month of cash flow slips

Remediation of construction e-invoices: VAT on subcontracting, progress claims, retention and price revision.

What breaks in this sector

  • Your subcontracting invoices under the reverse charge are rejected for want of a consistent mention and VAT category.
  • Progress claims are cumulative by nature and travel badly in a format designed for one-off invoices.
  • Retention and repayable advances are represented differently from one client to the next.
  • Site-cost shares and price revisions arrive as free-text lines, which the recipient’s automated validation refuses.

  • Progress claims and cumulative totals

    Representing cumulative progress and deductions in a form the recipient accepts.

  • Retention

  • Portal submission
