How to get VAT relief on bathroom refurbishment

YOUR bathroom is one of the most important rooms in your home. It’s where you start and end your day, and it’s where you relax and unwind. If your bathroom is looking tired and dated, it’s time for a refurbishment.

But before you start calling contractors, you should know about VAT relief for bathroom refurbishments. If you’re less abled, disabled or have a chronic illness you may be eligible for zero-rated VAT on the cost of the work. This means that you won’t have to pay the standard 20 per cent VAT on the materials and labour.

VAT relief is available for a wide range of bathroom adaptations, including:

•Installing a walk-in shower

•Widening doorways

•Full bathroom refurbishments

•Installing grab bars

•Adapting the toilet

If you’re not sure if you’re eligible for VAT relief, you can contact HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for more information or contact GD Evans Interiors who have many years of experience in design, installation and adapting bathrooms to suit people’s needs and can advise on this for you. In addition to the financial benefits, there are many other reasons to consider VAT relief for bathroom refurbishments. For example, VAT-free work is often carried out by experienced and qualified contractors who are familiar with the needs of less-abled people. This means that you can be confident that the work will be done to a high standard and that it will meet your specific needs.

If you’re thinking about refurbishing your bathroom, VAT relief is a great way to save money and improve your home.
