Reply to VAT @ 20% on energy bills charged on by letting agent ?

by doobrey

It would be correct in the case of a commercial building that was elected for VAT. But this isn't.

Residential lettings other than furnished holiday lets are VAT exempt. Costs deducted by your agent are disbursements. Charging VAT here sounds wrong to me.

VAT @ 20% on energy bills charged on by letting agent ?

by Affinite

My agent collects rent from my student tenants along with a monthly utilities charge.as part of their "Bills Inclusive" package
In the past, the utilities charge to my tenants has always included VAT at 5% (as per normal domestic bills) however the agent has now told me that his accountant...

Greetings, I Come in Peace

Hello all, I am a prospective landlord. I will be arranging my first mortgage in principle today as a start to my evil buy-to-let empire. As a total newb, what would be the one piece of advice you would give after your years of experience as a landlord?

Reply to VAT @ 20% on energy bills charged on by letting agent ?

by DoricPixie

I'd be interested to see how the accountant arrived at 20% VAT on energy bills because it is currently 5% and there is even talk of the government reducing VAT amid soaring energy prices. I might be being unfair but my money is on the letting agent misunderstanding something or not relaying the information...

Reply to compensation for no heating or hot water for 2 weeks in winter?

by jpucng62

Providing heaters and a cash sum to pay for the extra cost running them will incur might take the sting out of the situation. I cannot imagine being without heating and hot water for 2 weeks!

Reply to Water Damage

by Hudson01

If i am honest i feel they have a point, they rented a bedroom not a lounge to keep moving their bedding in and out of for a couple of weeks, if you do give a rent reduction then add this onto the bill for the insurers. I assume that the lounge is shared by them all so what if the tenant who's bedroom...
