Whether you’re a building contractor, a first-time developer, or a seasoned professional, the VAT implications involved in property transactions – ranging from construction services to leases and freehold sales – can be complex. At VAT Exchange, we specialize in making sure you don’t pay more VAT than you need to and that you avoid common (and costly) mistakes.
Why Property Development VAT Matters
VAT on property developments can be particularly challenging due to the varying rules for:
- New builds
- Conversions
- Refurbishments
- Sales and leases
Mistakes often go unnoticed because HMRC won’t tell you if you’ve overpaid. Unfortunately, small or DIY developers are especially vulnerable to these oversights, which can add up to significant financial losses.
Our Three-Step Process
At VAT Exchange, our goal is to minimize your overall VAT costs and smoothly manage the VAT aspects of your property project. We do this through our proven three-step process:
Determine the VAT Liability
Establish the correct VAT liability on the final sale or rental of your new, converted, or refurbished property. This sets the groundwork for all VAT decisions moving forward.Optimize Construction Costs
Identify opportunities to apply reduced or zero-rated construction services and ensure you only pay VAT where absolutely necessary. This step can drastically reduce upfront costs.Maximize Your VAT Reclaims
Ensure you claim as much VAT as possible from HMRC in accordance with current regulations. Our expertise helps you capture valid VAT credits and sidestep potential disputes.
Throughout the process, we’ll also help you avoid unexpected VAT bills from HMRC or contractors, giving you total peace of mind.
