Hi all,
Can anyone help me understand what VAT rates are applicable as I’m confused!
I have two contractors, the main one is installing a biomass heating system. Definitely reduced rate 5%. Ok so far, but they're not certified to do the electrics so I need a separate contractor to install the timer, thermostat and supplies for the new boiler etc.
Is this electrical work also reduced rate? hmrc website says heating controls are reduced rate, but entire central heating systems aren’t. Given that the entire system is already reduced rate then surely all the supporting electrical works also are? Besides, the electrical contractor is not installing an entire heating system, they’re only installing the heating controls, so that should mean their work is also reduced rate, correct?
Any thoughts? Cheers all.
