VAT ON DOMESTIC BUILDING WORK

Early day motion 1695, tabled 27 February 2006 by Gordon Banks (Labour). Signed by 60 members.

That this House notes that the Government has the right until 31st March to propose a reduced rate of VAT for domestic building work; supports the Government in its drive to improve the quality of domestic building work through the TrustMark initiative; and urges the Government to support the TrustMark by reducing the rate of VAT on domestic building work to five per cent., thereby depriving rogue builders of their commercial advantage.
