VAT REGISTERED

A VAT registered contractor must carry out the eligible works. Claims cannot be made for materials alone, they must be incorporated into the fabric by a registered VAT contractor.

You should check whether the contractor is registered for VAT, by asking his / her VAT registration number, which must be shown on the invoice.

Charities / faith groups that are registered for VAT (because they charge an entrance fee or run business activities) and pay a reduced effective rate of VAT, can only claim the amount irrecoverable from HM Revenue & Customs (previously Customs & Excise). Evidence of this agreement must be provided with the application.

VAT INVOICE

You must submit with your application, an original VAT invoice (or original receipted invoice) from the contractor. Claims will not be paid without this original documentary evidence. Photocopied invoices are not acceptable.

Where an invoice covers both eligible and ineligible works / memorials, this distinction must be made clear either on the invoice, or in question 22 of the application.
