Clarity and Confidence in Construction VAT
VAT on Building Works
The difference between paying 0%, 5% or 20% VAT can have a major impact on your project’s cost. Whether you’re undertaking a new build, conversion, refurbishment or renovation, the VAT treatment depends entirely on the precise nature of the works, how they’re contracted, and how the costs are apportioned.
At Landmark PT, we specialise in navigating these complexities — ensuring your project benefits from the lowest VAT rate legally available, and that the VAT position is managed accurately from start to finish.
How We Help
Our approach goes far beyond traditional VAT advice.
We analyse drawings, specifications, schedules of works and contracts to determine exactly how each element of the project should be treated for VAT purposes.
We then apportion the costs between the correct VAT rates — 0%, 5% or 20% — and work directly with your contractors to ensure the right VAT is charged as the project progresses.
This proactive, hands-on involvement means fewer surprises, full compliance, and maximum savings.
When to Involve Us
Engaging us before work starts allows us to structure contracts and procurement to achieve the most efficient VAT position. But even if your project is already underway, we can review the current position and help correct or optimise the VAT treatment before it becomes a costly issue.
We work across projects ranging from small residential refurbishments to large-scale commercial and mixed-use developments, with values from £20,000 to £750 million — and currently advise on around 200 live projects at any one time.
