Vat claim

[nod]

We received a parcel this morning containing all our invoices 

and a note saying the amount claimed will be paid in the next 21 days 

We submitted on June 13 

So not that long a wait 

 

To help others with some of the uncertainties 

The build has taken us 24 months to move into a 90 % complete house 

 

By the time we moved in we had been paying a reduce rate of Counsul tax on a inhabitable house Even though we where paying full CT on our home 

Thats another story 

We moved in in December But wasn’t ready for sign off 

I built my infamous Timber Disabled access in March in order to be signed off BC duly signed us off in May With a footnote saying Landscaping incomplete Temporary DA access

 

Its very difficult to know how long you can leave your vat claim after moving in 

But we carried on purchasing items for the build on pretty much a daily basis 

Two of the invoices where for the day of the claim 

 

Thankfully all been pretty straight forward

I have just received a letter from HMRC to say our claim has been received and there are no outstanding issues, 6 week lead time started ?.

6 weeks may be optimistic but at least you are through the eligibility phase.
