Hi, can anyone help me please? We am unsure what we can claim for in terms of Kitchen and Flooring. Can you claim for both the kitchen units (materials) and their fitting into the house? Do they need to be detailed separately on the supplier invoice? the same with the flooring, we have Karndean type flooring which I know you can claim for but can you claim for the fitting of, which is specialist work or only for the materials? Do these need to be detailed separately on the supplier invoices? Thanks

Hi.
If you are using the DIY Scheme for a new build then you are allowed to reclaim the VAT on fitted kitchen furniture and flooring,with the exception of carpets and carpet tiles.
The installation of these should be at the zero rate of VAT as it's work in relation to a new build and so there would be no VAT to reclaim.
If the DIY Scheme is in relation to a converstion then 5% VAT will be charged on the installation of these items and this would be reclaimable on the DIY application.
Please see the guidance below:
