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

by Lawcruncher

If you cannot find it online I do not expect I can. Unless someone comes along with a definitive answer, I think you need to ask the agent to ask his accountant to say what his authority is for his assertion....

Greetings, I Come in Peace

by AVJ113

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?

by AndrewDod
