TAMS Fencing grant

Stationmaster

I'm only new to sheep this month - any grants for anything available to my likes?!!

If you get a contractor to do the TAMS fencing can you also claim the VAT back on the fencing ?

Id imagine if you buy the materials you can claim 20% vat back but if the contractor supplies it your only can claim 13.5% back.

Great if you can claim back the VAT on the fencing though, bring down the costs.

Yes, VAT is reclaimable on fencing, so long as it is a new fencing and not repairs.

Also worth noting that contractors are only an allowable expense with TAMS if the contractor is VAT registered.

Bought pdm stakes and strainers the other day for tams fence, just noticed today there is no numbers on strainers Was told that they were grant spec strainers when I bought them. Anybody know if these numbers are supposed to be etched into the strainers or are they on a badge that can be nailed on after ?

They should be stapled onto the post

As Tileman said, there should be some kinda tag stapled onto the post with a number on it.

You should also have gotten a letter from PDM, with this number on it that states the stakes confirm to whatever spec it is. I think you need this letter for the TAMs application...
