Self build property: VAT question within LTD

Postby ltd101 » Sun Jun 14, 2015 7:52 pm

Property Investment co owns a large 3bed end of terrace property on a corner plot with large garden. Planning has just been granted to build a new dwelling from scratch on the land. As I understand it, new builds are VAT free, is this still applicable given its within a property LTD? Do I pay the builder VAT then reclaim? Is it just the bricks & mortar thats VAT free or does this include the finish (eg kitchen/bathroom etc) too?

The construction services, and goods that are building materials that are provided therewith, to the company will be VAT free.

When the company sells the property it will be able to recover any VAT incurred by it to the extent that it is attributable to the property sale, other than any VAT incurred on goods that are not building materials.
