vivienz Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I understand that (kitchen) appliances aren't eligibile for a VAT reclaim, but saw recently that downdraught extractors do qualify since they are classed as ventilation. Can anyone advise what is the situation re. boiling water taps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is integrated into the cold and hot water tap, then VAT can be reclaimed, if it's a stand-alone, boiling water only, tap then VAT cannot be reclaimed. We had to get this cleared up with the VAT helpline when doing our VAT return, and our Itho integrated boiling/hot and cold tap was not classified as a kitchen appliance, and so was eligible for the VAT reclaim.

vivienz Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Brilliant - thanks, Jeremy. That steers my decision towards which one to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliG Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Reading the guidance I don't see why you cannot reclaim the VAT on any kind of boiling water tap, surely it is a water heating device as below. gas and electrical appliances when wired-in or plumbed-in that are — designed to heat space or water (including cookers designed to have a dual purpose (to heat the room or the building’s water) — designed to provide ventilation, air cooling or purification, or dust extraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragg987 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Our claim for a stand alone hot water tap was accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An integrated (as long as it dispenses hot/cold water) boiling/chilled/sparkling water tap classifies as a tap and can be zero rated for VAT.
