VAT on Home renovation

    Hi All,

    We are currently looking to install new windows and a little bit of home improvement on our personal private residence.

    The builder sent a quote which excludes VAT.

    Am I correct in saying physical items like windows, timber, slates, fascia and soffiting will have the higher rate of VAT but the construction work itself is at the lower rate?

    Thanks

    Ask him for a quote including vat. You aren't a business, so no point in giving you a lower price than you're actually going to have to pay.

    Where the ex VAT cost of goods exceeds labour by two thirds, the VAT rate for the goods is applied.

    ask the contractor for a vat inclusive quote

    what was the quote for exactly?.
    is it a cash deal, implicit or explicit?

    “I can’t pay my staff or mortgage with instagram likes”.

    Thanks all. Query sorted on the VAT. Reduced rate 13.5%, as confirmed by builder.
