Hi,

The energy saving relief will only be at the zero rate if installed in to a residential premises.

If it is a mixed use building and the solar panels are installed separately for the residential part then this can benefit from the relief as long as the conditions are met in the link below:

Installations of energy-saving materials

If the supply is a single supply of energy saving materials for both qualifying and non qualifying premises then please see the guidance below:

VENSAV3320 - Energy-saving materials: apportionment of energy-saving materials serving buildings used for both qualifying and non-qualifying purposes

Please note that no apportionment is allowed for qualifying/non qualifying premises.

Thank you.

Hi judith Waring,

The 18 digit reference number is given for a specific payment. In order to ensure the payment is made to the correct account, and allocated as quickly as possible, you will need to obtain a new 18 digit reference by contacting our National Insurance team.
