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

by Codger

Could it be classified as a business account? We were paying that higher rate for common parts but we changed to domestic with the power co.

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

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?

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...

Reply to Water Damage

by jpucng62

Put yourself in their shoes - they have lost their lounge and the tenant using it as a bedroom has lost their privacy. They are paying for something they are not getting and although it isn’t your fault it is not their fault either.
