Mr. Niall Cody:

The RCT system is a really important tool to ensure compliance in the construction sector. The move to the electronic system in 2012 is one of the major reforms of the administration of the tax system. It is predicated on payment notifications by principal contractors. The onus of compliance in RCT is on a principal contractor, not the subcontractor.
