Frequently Asked Questions
New buildings for residential, relevant residential, or charitable use are zero-rated. This includes new builds and conversions, but check for exceptions.
Builders can reclaim VAT on materials used in a zero-rated building (e.g., new residential builds). Materials like carpets don’t qualify.
Contractors must register with HMRC before paying subcontractors. Subcontractors should register to avoid higher tax deductions. Registration is done online or via forms (CIS305 for companies, CIS301 for sole traders).
The standard VAT rate of 20% applies to most materials. Reduced rates or zero-rating may apply to new builds, conversions, or renovations of empty properties.
For certain construction services, the VAT responsibility is transferred from the supplier to the customer. This applies to activities such as building or altering structures.
