Who we help
Anyone holding a builder's quote and wondering about the VAT.
The rules are the same for everyone. What changes is where the risk sits and what you need from us.
-
Property developers
The VAT on your build cost is decided by the building, the works and each material, not by the rate on the first quote. We work out the rate for every line before you commit, so the appraisal, the tender and the contractor's invoices all rest on the same answer.

Builders and contractors
If the rate on your invoice is wrong, the liability is yours. We work out the correct rate for every element of the job and every material, with the legal basis for each, so you can price at 5% or 0% where it applies and show why you did.

Architects and consultants
Architects, planning consultants, quantity surveyors and structural engineers see the facts that decide the VAT rate long before a builder does. We are the specialist you can point a client to when a scheme looks as if it should not be 20%.

Accountants
When one client's building project needs a construction VAT specialist, we do that piece and nothing else. We work out the rate for every item and document it. The bookkeeping, the returns and the client stay with you.

Homeowners and self-builders
Some home projects are 0% or 5% and many are correctly 20%. We check your builder's quote line by line and tell you which applies and why. If you are extending or refurbishing a home you live in, the answer is normally 20%, and we will say so.
