Fiona Q

Have posted a question on the Forum so just waiting for it to be approved.

Will try and get clarification from the HMRC Forum - thanks for the feedback

thank you - I have been trying to contact HMRC for a definitive answer but they never answer the phone or I am cut off! Does anyone know if there is an email address for them?

The planning permission states - "Conversion of existing barn and restoration of existing dwelling"

thanks so much - will try the Forum as recommended - I have tried and tried to get through to HMRC on the phone to no avail....

Yes that correct - it has not been lived in since 1937 and was latterly used as a barn/lambing shed. Thank you so much - that's really useful and yes we will be living in it ourselves.

Hi, wondering if anyone could share a costings spreadsheet for a cottage/barn conversion?thanks Fiona

Wonder if someone can advise? We are converting an old cottage and barn and my builder is charging 20% on all invoices. I have read quite a bit about VAT rates - 20%, 5% and O%. The issue is some people count this as a new build and others a barn conversion.... although it was a cottage and barn attached it was last lived in 1937. Can any one help re claiming the VAT back? I know this has to be done once the build is complete. thanks Fiona
