I’m sure . But they need to define exactly why not . Just like arguing with planning 

You sound just like me and the answer was you cannot reclaim the vat but no reasons given

I thought that they gave you a reason (see this post) and it was because the primary function is as a hob? That doesn’t explain the position with an aga but that’s been allowed for donkey’s years so I doubt that they could alter that now.

I read that thread.

 

If the "primary function is a hob" then that's nonsense . It has 2 functions hob and extraction. They need to allocate a percentage to the hob for its primary function.

I think they just make up crap to avoid handing back the VAT.

Planning I seem to recall held all the cards for 5 years . They lost 

They need to give a proper full definition of why it’s exempt from vat relief . Not it’s primary function is .... . That in turn immediately suggests it has other functions . Also what is primary ? Heating food or removing the condensation? . I’d say they are both as important....

Elica Tesla switch induction hob / extractor in .

Only tested it - but works like a dream ! The extraction works very well
