9% VAT Rate for Residential Apartments and Blocks Under Finance Act 2025: Key Provisions Explained

  • The VAT rate for the supply and development of apartments and apartment blocks used for residential purposes is reduced from 13.5% to 9% from 26 November 2025 to 31 December 2030.
  • The 9% rate applies to apartment blocks with at least three apartments and common or grouped access, including various apartment types such as studios, penthouses, duplexes, and student accommodation.
  • Internal and external common areas and car parking spaces qualify for the 9% rate, but amenities like gyms, work hubs, and pools do not.
  • Apportionment of cost/price may be required when non-qualifying amenities are present.
  • Further guidance is provided in a new Tax and Duty Manual, but complex scenarios may still arise, requiring careful consideration.
