HMRC Admin 19 Response

Hi,

There is no procedure to claim back the reduced rate of VAT charged.

If the property has been empty for 2 years or more and a contractor completes renovation work for you then they would automatically charge 5% on the work, both for the materials and the labour. However, if you have completed the work yourself and have purchased materials yourself, then unfortunately there is no claim procedure for this.

There would only be a claim procedure if the house had not been lived in for 10 or more years. You can see guidance here:

Claim a VAT refund for a conversion if you're a DIY housebuilder

Reduced rating the renovation or alteration of empty residential premises

Thank you.

Hi,

The £50000 refers to completing a tax return. As a non resident you need to report the sale of UK property no matter what.

As it is jointly owned, all income and expenses will be split 50/50. You can see guidance here:

Hi,

You would need to ensure you have a personal account and not a trust account in order to report this, so you may need to create a new government gateway account in order to do this. Please ensure you are using the link here:
