VCONST02240 - Zero-rating the construction of buildings: is a building being constructed: what the term ‘existing building� means
The law identifies ‘an existing building� by setting conditions to decide when an existing building ceases to exist. These conditions are contained in the Value Added Tax Act 1994, Schedule 8, Group 5, Note 18.
They are:
- the demolition test (VCONST02250)
- the façade test (VCONST02260).
An existing building remains when neither of the tests is passed.
