Re:Zero rate of VAT for solar panel products
Hi,
The VAT liability of the supply of solar power diverters will qualify to be zero-rated in Great Britain ( England, Wales and Scotland) when they are supplied and installed ( as a single supply) between the period 1/4/22 to 31/3/27.
The supply would qualify to be zero-rated under Item 1(a), Group 2, Schedule 7A, VATA 1994 when made by your business to a persons private residential address in Great Britain.
The functionality of the Solar power diverters as described in your e-mail would appear to fall within the description of ‘ hot water system controls’ as found in Item 1(d) of Group 2, Schedule 7A VATA 1994. I have reproduced the relevant part of HMRC’s internal guidance on this subject below:

Re: Zero rate of VAT for solar panel products
Hi,
If this electrical work is done separately by another supplier then the installation is not an installation of energy saving materials in themselves and so this wouldn't benefit from the relief.
Thank you.

Re:Zero rate of VAT for solar panel products
Hi,
If the supplier supplies and installs the energy saving materials then he would charge the zero rate of VAT both for the materials and the installation.He would then reclaim the VAT which he has incurred on his VAT return
Please see the following link for the conditions of the scheme:

Re:State Pension Contributions Living Abroad
Hi,
We can confirm that the second address in your message is a more updated address however, your form will still reach HMRC by using the address quoted on the form.
You can send both yours and your husbands forms in the same envelope. It may be better to send separately though, as all post is scanned electronically, then logged onto our system with your National Insurance number as a reference.
Thank you.
