Remove VAT on Listed Buildings Maintenance

Additional Information

Owners of Listed Buildings as ‘gate keepers’ of our heritage want VAT on maintenance works removed.

a) To reduce the numbers of properties which are not maintained due to cost pressures
b) So that owners can afford VAT registered craftsmen to work on the listed properties.

Conservation Departments have rules on listed property maintenance which affect the materials e.g. type of thatch or windows and how the works are completed – there are no shortcuts. Maintaining listed properties correctly, for future generations, is therefore expensive and VAT is a further financial burden.
