Hi, we are renovating a property, that we will live in, and it’s been empty for around 10 years. I’ve asked the council to supply the relevant confirmation from the electoral register but they are taking ages to reply. In the meantime I have a couple of questions as not all of the suppliers and contractors were familiar with this vat relief qualification: 1) please can you confirm how we claim vat back for the materials that we are buying that qualify under the guidance as the builders merchants told me they can’t adjust the invoices. 2) please can you confirm that we just need to ask contractors to adjust the invoices for their work so show 5% vat and give them a copy of the evidence of the qualification for the reduced rate that they can share with the accountant or attach to the invoice? Many thanks Sally
