Hi,
As per the guidance quoted in
Notice 708 sec 12.2:
You’re not blocked from deducting input tax when the following conditions are met:
Goods ‘incorporated’ in the building that would be zero-rated to you if a VAT-registered builder were to construct that building from scratch for you(read paragraph
11.2)
Goods that are not ‘incorporated’ in the building (or its site)
‘incorporation’ services that have been correctly charged with VAT
Therefore there is no block on input tax for goods which are not incorporated in the new build.
Thank you.
