I have a slightly different question in relation to the application of 5% VAT rate: Can more than one contractor working on the eligible property claim the reduced rate? I am not referring to sub-contractors but a situation where one contractor is employed to build an extension and another separate contractor is employed to stabilise the walls of the original part of the building. Can both contractors claim the reduced rate on their elements of the work, if they have the necessary evidence?

Hi - I believe you can self-certify using the certificate template 'Zero-rated and reduced-rated building work certificate' to be found in section 18.1 of VAT 708 Notice. Can anyone tell me how to post a new question in this forum?
