We write to let you know about changes to the taxation of holiday home owners that the government is introducing from 1 January 2012. As a result, you will notice changes to the way we have to charge VAT on some items from next year.

This follows an announcement from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) requiring us to apply VAT to some recharges. HMRC’s announcement of these changes is published online on HMRC’s website: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/menus/extra-stat-con-tn.pdf

Business Rates
Page 9 of HMRC’s Technical Note explains that from 1 January 2012, we have to apply VAT at the standard rate (currently 20%) when we invoice you for the business rates for your caravan holiday home.

Water and sewerage
Page 10 of HMRC’s Technical Note explains that from 1 January 2012, we have to apply VAT at the standard rate (currently 20%) when we charge you for water and sewerage.

We’re members of our industry’s trade association, BH&HPA who argued long and hard against the imposition of this increased taxation. However, government was adamant the increased VAT charges should apply.
