Reclaim VAT for Export
VAT can be reclaimed when goods have been shipped to Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey. VAT is paid as normal and then reclaimed by providing proof of shipping. This can be by way of a waybill or similar from the transportation company, stating the goods collection and delivery points including weight and time stamps.
Reclaim VAT For Self/DIY Builders
DIY housebuilders can reclaim VAT on their windows and doors. They must initially pay the VAT on their purchase as normal, followed by completing the relevant form below. Then once they receive and send us their certificate/letter from HMRC, we can refund the VAT they initially paid.
The scheme only applies to those building or converting for their own domestic use and occupation and isn’t available for property developers. The claim must be made within 3 months of the building being completed, and they only get one chance to claim.
Just Value Doors Ltd is a supply only business and therefore classed as a retailer or merchant. We in turn are not involved with the installation of any products we supply.
More information can be found on the Government website here: Buildings and Construction (VAT Notice 708) See paragraph 2.2
