| Owners of Listed Buildings miss VAT relief |
Owners of the 450,000 listed buildings throughout the UK are unaware that much of the building work undertaken on their homes should not attract VAT. The Listed Property Owners Club estimate that as much as £250 million of tax is being paid unnecessarily.
Provided the local planning authority has given an owner permission to undertake work on their homes tasks such as changing the internal wall configuration, installing central heating for the first time, building an extension or adding a conservatory should all be charged as a zero rated service. Even underpinning should be classified as an extension (downwards !!) and is therefore zero-rated.

| Cast back to its origins |
It seems ironic that a foundry in West Sussex would be supplying
its period style cast iron radiators to America, home to some of the first cast
iron radiators. But after scouring the country President Richard Mindler of the
Quakertown Train Station Historical Society discovered that none of the
foundries in the USA manufactured cast iron radiators in the style needed for
the $800,000 refurbishment of the town’s Victorian train station built in 1902.

| Cast iron radiators the hottest feature |
The history of cast iron radiators can be traced
right back to the early 18th century with America leading the way with their
invention. Perhaps the earliest form of radiators as we know them today was
invented by Joseph Nason and Robert Brigss (1863), their design used vertical
wrought iron tubes screwed into a cast iron base. Soon after this Nelson H Bundy
(1872) invented the ‘Bundy Loop’, a cast iron radiator which became increasingly
popular and played an important role in the advancement in the birth of our
modern day radiators.

| VAT & The Listed Building for Contractors |
Apologies if I am repeating anything that you have heard before, but the overall objective of the LPOC is the provision of information, the sharing of knowledge and providing assistance to fellow members. To that end, it is hoped that all professionals will gain a modicum of information about the intricacies of VAT, which can be applied whenever you are carrying out work on members’ properties. It is an unfortunate fact of life that the guidance provided by the VAT Office is sufficiently complex to make many contractors charge VAT, "just to be on the safe side". The end result is that the VAT Office reap a tangible financial benefit, every day, that they don’t deserve. Hard earned cash is being paid in VAT by householders - VAT that simply isn’t due.
