new build zero rated vat

[J.C.E]

evening

doing my 1st new build- which is zero rated for vat (apprantely)
do i just invoice awith zero % vat- and just ask the client for a copy of the zero rated new build cert- and put that in my records to show why no VAT was charged- or is it a bit more complicated then this?

cheers

not sure on this, but if you are vat reg. then you charge the builder vat. he claims it back anyway.

my client is the builder who asked me to invoice him zero % vat

I would check that with your accountant or HMRC ........................ if he's wrong YOU will carry the can.

think he's wrong, but wait till a member with a more in depth knowledge is on. last job i did for a builder ( a mate, new build) all trades charged him VAT.

Just invoice a self build customer 0% vat supply and fix. If I'm working for a builder it is 20%.

your vat reg, and you charge vat accordantly.

if you buying gear from a whole seller .you will pay vat. so go to where you buy from, and ask them .I don't want to pay the VAT. and see what they say.
