Services
Three services. Bought one at a time, or together.
If you are not sure your project qualifies, start with the report. If you already know it does, go straight to the analysis. If you are on site and things are changing, the retainer keeps the answers coming. The report fee is credited against the analysis.
- Tier 1
Qualification report
Details“Does my project qualify for a lower rate of VAT?”
A clear, written answer on whether your project can be charged at 5% or 0% VAT instead of 20%, so you know where you stand before you commit to a price.
For anyone at the start of a project: buying a site, weighing up a conversion, or about to go out to tender.
- Tier 2
Line-by-line analysis
Details“What VAT should be charged on each part of my quote, and can I prove it?”
We go through your builder's quote or tender line by line and confirm the right VAT rate for each part of the job, with the paperwork to back it up.
For clients with a quote or tender in hand who are ready to appoint a builder, and for contractors who need to price a job at the right rates.
- Tier 3
Advisory retainer
Details“Something has changed mid-build. Does it affect the VAT?”
Ongoing VAT support while your project is on site, so changes, variations and questions from your builder are answered quickly and in writing.
For developers and contractors already on site, with the VAT position agreed and the job still moving.
What you receive
Four documents. One defensible answer.
With the line-by-line analysis you get everything you need to settle the rates with your builder, and the paperwork to back them up.
- 01
Analysis report
A written report setting out which rate applies and why, with the legislation and HMRC guidance cited.
The main document. Proof the work was done properly.
- 02
Materials schedule
A spreadsheet listing every item in the job with its rate and the reason for it.
So the builder knows exactly what to charge on what.
- 03
Contractor letter
A letter you hand to your builder: the rates to use, how to treat materials, what to do about invoices already raised.
Turns the analysis into correct invoices.
- 04
Cost calculation
The worked figures: VAT at each rate, and the difference between what was quoted and what is due.
The number you actually care about.
