Domestic Reverse Charges (DRC) is a VAT regulation Gazetted on 8 June 2022, for companies that deal with valuable metal. Valuable metal can be classified as any goods containing gold in the form of jewellery, bars, blank coins, ingots, buttons, wire, plate, granules, solution or residue, including related goods and service.
The DRC Regulations are an anti-avoidance measure designed to counter criminal attacks on the VAT system and malpractices identified in the valuable metals industry.
The DRC regulations require VAT registered companies to pay the VAT on their purchases of valuable metal, as defined, from VAT registered companies directly to SARS before claiming it back from SARS.
Within SBCA and Sage 50, we have built in a reporting module that will make it easier for our customers to record and report on this type of VAT within the product. This functionality will assist companies that deal with valuable metals to stay complaint when preparing VAT submissions to SARS.
