Ron Avery Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 As far as I understand it from our bulder, we have an old house but no fosse, just a cess pit, so our fosse will be new and will have 19.6%TVA applied, if you have a fosse septique that needs replacing to comply with the new regulations, that is counted as restoration and provided the house is over 2 yearrs old and your principal residence it can attract a rate of 5.5% .......at the moment. My builder is confident that the lower rate of TVA will be extended into 2006. I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment the VAT rate is going back to 19.6% and therefore, your builder must quote 19.6% if he thinks that the job will finish after 31st December. As Ron says,the rate may well stay at 5.5% (we all hope that it will, in common with most), but if he charges you 5.5% when he should have charged 19.6%, are you going to shell out the difference? I wouldn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
