Thanks for the clarification…much appreciated. Will submit as I thought…conversion!

Ok thanks. So it’s what the planning permission states not what’s on the building reg certificate as to what rate you apply to reclaim? Just concerned that it may be rejected as the planning states conversion but building regs says new build

We were granted planning permission for a conversion but the building regs officer decided part way through that we were to build it to new build standards. Building reg certificate states new build. Do I claim vat as conversion 5% as per the planning permission or as a new build zero rated?
