VAT Clawback - Property

VAT Clawback - Property

Didn't find your answer?

A company has built a house on a caravan park it owns. VAT has been recovered on the basis that it will be used as part of the holiday lets. Company may decide to rent it out on a long term basis rather than for it to be used as holiday lets.

 Would the VAT be clawed back as the intention has changed from a taxable to an exempt let? Is there a way to avoid a clawback?

 Also, what if the house is used to accommodate the wardens rather than be let out?

Safest option

Would be to let as a holiday let, preferably for an entire season (try to avoid change of intention before it is actually brought into use).

Out of interest, was VAT charged on the construction of the property?

Thanks for the comment and sorry for the delay in answering!

I've had a look and it appears that a lot of the expenditure has no VAT anyway but I haven't looked in to much detail. Professional fees all include the VAT though. I need to see how much it is in total.
