- New dwellings that are constructed and sold are not always zero rated for VAT. In order for a new dwelling to be zero rated, there are a number of tests to be met – these are set out in VATA 1994, Sch 8 group 5.
- Conversions often result in a mix in VAT rates – the rules are set out in VATA 1994, Sch 7A group 6, but determining the appropriate rate of VAT is a complex process.
