Hi, working as subcontractor and my contractor informed me that I have to invoice him with ZERO VAT as his new project is ZERO RATED PROJECT.
He is not developer (he works for them)
I have checked VAT Notice 700 and in one sections it says:
17.4 Subcontractors accepting certificates
If youre a contractor working to a main contractor, you should not be issued with a certificate. You must always standard rate your supply when working on a certificated building.
Any idea how I should invoice my contractor?
As per my understanding it should be with standard VAT.
Apart from certain professional services as well as carpet fitting which would be standard rated then any other services related to the construction of a dwelling would be zero rated, they would also be under the DRC.
