Compulsory works on council flats

Beancounter1973 5 months ago

Hi,

The council are completing some renovation works to a block of flats they own, and are asking for a compulsory contribution from the private leaseholders.

I am not sure if we should be accounting for VAT on the contribution, or if it should be non-business or even exempt. Could anyone advise me, please?

Hi,

I'd like to introduce myself as the editor of the TISonline Local Authority Housing board. I asked the board for advice regarding your query and received the following response:

"I am pretty sure the following link to a page of the VAT manual applies to leaseholders just as it does to tenants, as from a VAT point of view both are simply a "tenant", so non-business. Note that a different position arises if there are (also, or related additional) works done at the request of the leaseholder/tenant: https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-government-and-public-bodies/vatgpb8340"
