Should the cost of installing a fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) fibre-broadband connection to a new dwelling be zero-rated for VAT? I ask as I have just going into battle with Cambridge Fibre asking for it to be zero-rated.
Reading VAT Notice 708, I think the answer is yes as it falls under "any other service closely connected to the construction of the building".
What does everyone think?
(The installation will be a 40m cable between three telegraph poles plus a small bit of excavation for a conduit.)
(Mine is a zero-rated eligible new build in Cambridge, England).
