Are You Building A New Home?

Posted on 11th December 2020

Have you heard about the VAT DIY house-builders scheme?

The VAT DIY house-builders scheme is a special scheme that enables someone building their own home to benefit from special VAT rules that allow the qualifying construction costs of new homes and certain conversion works to be zero-rated. The scheme has been designed to effectively put DIY house-builders in a similar VAT position to a property developer.

What Can Be Claimed

A claim can be made for qualifying building materials on which VAT has been charged. Qualifying materials include most materials incorporated into a new building or conversion which cannot be easily removed. There are a number of exceptions including fitted furniture, carpets, and some domestic appliances.

Exclusions

It is not possible to claim the VAT for any professional or supervisory services associated with the development. There are also time limits that should be adhered to when making a claim. A claim must usually be made within three months of the completion of the conversion or new building using the appropriate form. A repayment is usually made within 30 days of a claim being submitted.

There are two main forms for making a claim. The first form (VAT 431NB) is designed for new builds and the second form (VAT431C) is designed for qualifying conversions i.e. the conversion of a non-residential property to residential.
