Vat On Electric Gates

[nod]

We’ve a quote of 11K Plus vat on the supply and installation of the above 

We are living in the house but not yet signed off Are we still exempt ?

Last time round I could only find a company that would supply the gates and I bought the motors and fitted them myself and simply claimed the vat back The gates where shown on the PP So no problem with the claim 

back 

This time they are not shown on the plans 

Google seems a bit ambiguous

Crumbs, that’s a toughy.  
 

Would you still want them if you had to pay the VAT?

I think we moved in here before final sign off and continued to collect receipts till sign off then put them in en block. We were fortunate not to have anything queried. 
 

I guess you could demand your supplier zero rate them.  If, when their overpaid accountant looks at that their reaction might be a useful guide.  Cheaper than paying a tax accountant for an opinion. 

[Andehh]

Our gates weren't on the PP, and we had them half installed and full invoiced a month before our VAT reclaim timed out. We paid the installers VAT, and added it to our receipts to claim back with their invoice.

 

It wasn't one they asked for invoice copies etc, and they approved the claim.

 

That being said electric blinds and garage doors which they did ask for invoice copies etc they bounced and said we shouldn't have paid the VAT, recover it from the supplier.

I think we will still go ahead with the quote regardless But it does still in the throat We could have easily added them to the PP

That would be another option 

Thanks

Hi @nod I have bought these gates - https://www.fhbrundle.co.uk/products/54SGCK154__Cantilever_Gate_Frame_Kit_-_1.5m_High_x_4m_Wide_Opening although have yet to instal. These would save you a bit of £

 

I would be interested in where you sourced your motor kit and what I need to look out for in this as its my intention to but and then have electrician wire up but my knowledge of what to get is pretty scanty

A quick non-material amendment?

I purchased the motors from Gates Gates Great bit of kit and there after sales was excellent
