    If you're not registered, no

    Not if you are not registered for VAT.

    You can claim capital allowances on the value of the splitter, full cost including VAT.

    I'm not registered

    But I though I could claim under the scheme for non registered farmers, where you can claim back vat on buildings, fencing equipment and items which are deemed to be a permanent structure

    I would not classify a log splitter as a permanent structure. Unless you could prove you were using it to build fences with, but a bit of a stretch.

    AFAIK VAT can be claimed back on fixed to the ground equipment, ie bolted to the ground. Generators, milking machine, bulk tank etc. A log splitter would be pushing the boundaries a lot.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
