12 weeks till the spades go in the ground!

Looking forward to digging into the forum for some research and help with the upcoming project..  We've got a 1968 house in West Sussex..  Its now gutted after Asbestos was found in nearly everything!  Pretty much got 4 walls / ceilings and a roof left!  planning on new extension with ASHP  / underfloor heating..   Project has taken so long to start that we are coming to the 2 year mark of non occupancy that the council have confirmed this with an official letter..  So fingers crossed for a 5% build..   Hopefully this forum has some advice on claiming the vat back and what you can and cant claim for..  thanks in advance to community on this forum..  Simon

Welcome Simon.

 

Take a look at the VAT subforum: https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/forum/103-self-build-vat-community-infrastructure-levy-cil-s106-tax/

 

Lots of stuff in there, although your situation doesn't sound like it's as straightforward as the newbuild, zero-VAT option.
