Ed_MK Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Well finally getting to the nitty gritty of paying for our sewer connection We have found an Anglian Water contractor and are ready to apply and pay for what we call Phase 1 (connecting our parents to the main sewer) The BLUE line we are doing ourselves to save on cost, and the Pink line ....which ONLY approved contractor can dig is costing us about £7.5 k ( i know!) But they have asked us if VAT is payable on this ??? Does anyone know if we are VAT exempt on this work ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
