- UK Government plans to expand VAT relief for energy-saving materials (ESMs)
- Currently, installations of ESMs in residential accommodation have a temporary VAT zero rate until March 31, 2027
- After that, a reduced rate of VAT of five percent will apply
- Proposed amendments to the Value-Added Tax Act will extend the relief to ESM installations on buildings used solely for relevant charitable purposes
- The relief will also include water-source heat pumps, electrical batteries that store electricity generated by certain ESMs and from the National Grid, and diverters that allow excess electricity from certain ESMs to be used within a building
- The change will be effective from February 1, 2024.
