That's because they're not really 'built in'. They're appliances finished with a door to match the kitchen.

 

The general VAT principal is that claimable items need to be part of the fabric of the house and not easily removable.

You can only claim for plumbing things (taps and sinks), appliances that provide heat (so a combi range / heater thingy for example), and ventilation, ie extractor.

If you have a hob with built in extractor e.g. Bora then you should be able to claim that.

The only way you can "claim" for appliances is if they are "free" with your kitchen package.

So they will refund the £0 VAT I paid on my free dishwasher then.

Yes, and the VAT on the kitchen package which you might have got cheaper elsewhere without "free" appliances.

In theory that extra money should also cover the VAT the supplier has to pay on the 'free' appliances as they won't have been bought in free of VAT.
