Alan Ambrose Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago (edited) I suddenly twigged this morning that on a 'deliver material and muckaway soil' service (these both happening on the same trip) that maybe the delivery of material should be VATable (as it's building material) but the muckaway not (as it's a service)? Is this practical - they normally appear on the same invoice and they're just one trip? p.s. another VAT question - what about materials that are used during the build but not 'incorporated' e.g. shuttering ply vs. concrete.

nod Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago All incoming is claimable Also anything like shuttering ply Or even materials used for floor protection
Alan Ambrose Posted 5 hours ago Author Posted 5 hours ago Ah another one - when is a service a service? Suppose I have some fabrication guys make me up some brackets. In this case it means supply steel, cut shapes out, weld, polish. Contrast that with buying some 'off the shelf' parts (which could actually be advertised as standard or customisable parts but made-to-order). Is this a service (I need them to specify no VAT) or a supply of materials (I can reclaim the VAT)? Also scaffolding, I guess that is a 'service' and I can't reclaim the VAT? Jeez, what a looney set of rules.

Jeez, what a looney set of rules. If they supply and fit its zero and if they supply You can claim the vat back They would word it Steel brackets or similar No mention of labour
