Many thanks to you all for your prompt replies.

Can anyone tell me if you pay V.A.T. on building materials in France. I understand that in  the UK there are VAT refunds for DIY homebuilders and Converters where private individuals can reclaim the VAT on labour and materials without having to be VAT registered, does anyone know if there is a similar scheme in France.  Also are there any specific renovations qualifying for grants. thanks in anticipation
