All companies and businessmen can benefit from the key performance indicators. The member of the group really making that grant must have ‘particular person developing’ status (see paragraph 4.5.four ).

If you’re making a provide in reference to a building supposed for use as residential lodging for students (see paragraph 14.6.4 ) or school pupils, or residential accommodation for members of any of the armed forces you’ll be able to only zero charge or diminished price your supply to the extent that it relates to the ‘residential lodging’.
You can not zero price work to a whole building where only a part of it’s a ‘protected’ building. But you may zero rate the work to the qualifying parts. For example, if you happen to carry out alterations to a listed building used by a charity, it might be that solely a part of the building shall be used solely for a ‘related charitable objective’. If that’s the case, only the approved alterations to that a part of the building could be zero-rated.
Some pupil accommodation and different residential developments might sometimes embrace facilities similar to a eating corridor or laundry in a separate building. Observe 5 of Group 5 to Schedule 8 of the VAT Act 1994 allows such buildings to be zero-rated the place they’re constructed concurrently the residential accommodation and are supposed to be used with it. To fall inside the zero fee, all of the buildings should be supposed to be used together solely (ninety five% or extra) by residents dwelling within the lodging, their visitors and those who look after the building.
