\"StuartServing on the BASDA General Council has been a defining part of my professional journey. In an industry defined by rapid change and fierce competition, BASDA provides a unique “pre-competitive” space where we can shift gears into strategic thinking. It allows us to step back from the day-to-day and collaborate with peers to address the complex regulatory and technical challenges that impact us all.<\/p>\n

What I value most is the ability to take issues that are affecting my organisation and see them through a wider lens. By discussing these shared hurdles with industry peers, we are able to move beyond identifying problems to actively shaping their resolutions. It turns individual company challenges into collective industry solutions.<\/p>\n

For any software vendor considering joining: BASDA offers the opportunity to not just react to industry changes, but to help write the rules. It is an essential forum for anyone serious about the future of business software.<\/p>\n

Stuart says, \u201cOn a personal level, membership has been instrumental in expanding my professional network. The exposure to high-level stakeholders, particularly the direct engagement with senior personnel at HMRC and other government bodies, provides a “seat at the table” that can sometimes be difficult to achieve in isolation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"I\u2019ve had an active involvement with BASDA for over 15 years commencing in 2005 when I was invited to join a working party to write a BASDA CIS White Paper. This working party grew into the BASDA Construction Specialist Interest Group. The CIS changes were successfully implemented in April 2007 and marked a huge success for close co-operation between BASDA and HMRC. In 2008, I was invited to take over the chair of the Construction Interest Group and to represent BASDA on HMRC\u2019s CIS Operational Forum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, I have been continuously actively involved in BASDA and was elected to the General Council in 2015. This involvement has been very positive in every respect. It has helped increase my knowledge of the various statutory compliance issues with which I have been involved. It has widened my awareness of other issues within the software industry and of the operation of government. The benefits for my employer COINS as a company have included not only the access to information and influence, but also the ability to demonstrate to clients thought leadership in statutory compliance among construction software providers.
Over the years, as well as CIS tax, I have been involved in changes to VAT on Prompt Payment Discounts, CITB Levy changes, Off Payroll Working in the private sector, Making Tax Digital for VAT and Construction Reverse Charge VAT \u2013 as well as other issues. I\u2019ve been involved in drafting various documents on behalf of BASDA, helped draft legislation, presented at the BASDA Summit and represented BASDA at countless meetings with HMRC and others. Although there have been frustrations, it has been good to know that my voice has been heard and I have felt more at the centre of these issues than would have been possible without BASDA.
<\/span><\/p>\n

On a more personal level, I have found General Council meetings interesting and enjoyable \u2013 working with a great bunch of people. As I retire from BASDA, I would encourage others to get involved \u2013 you never know what you might get out of putting something into the wider industry beyond your current employer.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    Specific projects, such as forming a task group to address Patents which may impact on our solutions and commercial operations, deliver considerable savings when compared with the cost of taking action as an individual company.

    Keeping ahead of legislation and it\u2019s interpretation is a significant challenge for all software vendors. BASDA enables us to have influence on legislation as it emerges, with engagement at the highest level. We also have the benefit of being able to work collectively with other BASDA members on interpretation of regulation \u2013 which saves us many days per year.<\/p><\/div>
