Thanks. Reading the guidance it does seems that converting two flats into a single dwelling is a qualifying conversion but I do not understand what sort of ‘reliable evidence’ the builder would require. As the certificates in VAT notice 708 do not cover cases like mine, what evidence can I provide? No one in the trade I have spoken to is aware of the possibility of the reduced rate for this type of conversion.

I am buying a house which was split into two flats some time ago. My intention is to turn the two flats back into a single dwelling. Is this work eligible for the reduced rate of VAT under VAT notice 708, and if so, what do I or my contractor have to do / prove to benefit from the reduced rate? Should my contractor buy and supply all elements to be incorporated in the building including kitchen, bathrooms etc? Thanks

As a non-resident taxpayer, how do I report capital gains? I tried online but the system does not accept non-UK addresses
