Eligible projects

We still hear Contractors and Accountants state that VAT relief is largely down to 'interpretation', which is not the case. HMRC have ruled this line of thought out time and time again through Tribunals and detailed VAT Guidance. We can give absolute clarify on any proposed or completed projects. Common areas for VAT refunds & mitigation include:

• Grade I & Grade II Listed building alterations, extensions and refurbishments
• Conversion of Listed 'curtilage' buildings
• Conversion & change of use of commercial & non-residential buildings
• Redevelopment of existing buildings (conversion of bed-sits and care homes into single dwellings and vice versa)
• Residential conversion (creation of additional flats within existing blocks or from single dwellings)
• Commercial developments and when to 'Opt to Tax'
• Reclaiming VAT incurred on the purchase of building / property
• Charitable, créche and other ‘not for profit’ projects
• Energy Saving materials
• Works for the disabled

  Although it is preferable for VAT to be addressed proactively, it is possible to rectify past schemes (providing the expenditure is less than 4 years old)
