Did you know that if you build your own house you can reclaim from HM Revenue & Customs the majority of the VAT paid in relation to your self build house. There may also be the opportunity to reclaim VAT on some refurbishments and conversions.
At the Built Environment Advisers we can offer the following services to the self builder:
Preparation and submission of VAT reclaims
Advice on maximising your VAT saving
We can provide both an advisory service and also specialise in offering a fixed fee compilation only service for just £415. The fixed fee service involves you sending us all of your documents and we compile the VAT reclaim and send to HM Revenue & Customs on your behalf who will send you your refund direct.
What documents do we need ?
The Planning Permission - for the construction or for the conversion of your property.
Plans and drawings of the development - preferably the original plan stamped by the planning authority. All of the drawings for the development including existing drawings if it is a conversion development.
Invoices and bills - Please send all your original documents/receipts etc that you have including any credit notes. We will calculate what you can claim under the scheme together with the construction drawings.
Certificate of completion - The Building Regulations certificate from the building inspector in the local authority.
If in any doubt, send us all the original documents you have.
