Our contractor just has to verify and we've given him all the relevant codes however he's saying that Revenue sent him out documents at the start of the scheme stating the role contractors would play in the scheme would be fully explained at a later date. He says he has had no updated documents and doesn't know how to proceed. He is a qualifying contractor, his company is definitely on the list. I've told him he needs to log in to his online Revenue account, click the option to verify a claim and input the codes I have given him. Am I right in saying this? I'm aware that the deadline is this Friday, the 31st so I want to make sure I'm giving him the right instructions.

We then discovered we were eligible for the HTB scheme. We qualified for the full 5% rebate. We then agreed with our builder that we pay 5% upfront deposit on signing of contracts and the other 5% comes from revenue as part of 10% overall deposit. This was inserted into our contract and the builder has signed up and us now a qualifying contractor. Luckily now our other 5% from our savings can be used for house furnishings. Has anyone else done this? It's my understanding that this is how the scheme is supposed to work regarding 5% upfront yourself and 5% from revenue? Is this correct?

Now we want to pay the balance up to 5%, and our solicitor told the 5% rebate it applied to purchase price without VAT. Can you help me with this please.... Thank you...

Leah32 wrote: » Hi All, Anyone applying for the HTB experience the below: We paid €5000 deposit last year to hold the house and paid another €25,000 after signing our contract last week. The builder is on the registered list with revenue so we are now waiting for the builder to sign the contract and return to us so we can apply for the HTB. We need to pay €38,000 in total to the builder, we have now paid €30,000. This means we owe the builder 8,000 upon completion but if we are eligible for a rebate of more than €8,000 will the revenue give €8,000 to the builder and remainder to us? Thanks in advance
