So , the shows are back , excited ?
Yes , it ’ s been too long . There is no better way of explaining to someone their VAT position and potential pitfalls than face to face .
How have you managed , have the lockdowns affected you ?
I do not think it affected us in the initial instance but not having been meeting new clients may cause a problem in the future , where there will be the period of people who we would have met in the last 18 months at shows .
Have you found any way to offset this ?
We increased our printed and online advertising but what it has done is pushed us into starting a YouTube channel , which is going live shortly or might even be live by the time you read this . Please subscribe to the channel for weekly content going forward .
So back to the shows , Harrogate , who should be coming to see you ?
Anyone who is creating a new dwelling , be it a new build , knocking down completely and rebuilding new , or converting a building not previously lived in , such as a church , chapel , barns , shops , halls , industrial buildings , schools and school buildings or offices .
Who can you NOT assist ?
We specialise purely in a scheme called VAT431 , The DIY Scheme . None of the following qualify - HMO ’ s , outbuildings , extensions , annexes , loft conversions , renovations of existing dwellings , refurbishment of a dwelling ( unless it ’ s been empty for 10 years or more ).
Free , no obligation advice specific to your project , come and see me in Hall B , Stand B413
