VAT reclaim on derelict protected building ?

Hi, I have read the guidance on VAT reclaim for building conversions which have been vacant 10yrs or more and the guidance on protected buildings. My question is can a protected building which has been vacant for 10yrs or more qualify for the VAT reclaim / refund or is it excluded under the 2012 changes to standard rate Protected building repairs (assuming all other criteria are satisfied)? Thanks, Gerard

 

Hi. The zero rated relief for approved alterations to protected buildings did end in 2012. However this doesn't effect the ability to reclaim the VAT as part of a DIY claim Please see below: Claim a VAT refund for a new home or charity building if you're a DIY housebuilder   .

Thank you .
