No Vat On Flooring In New Build

I Am Buying A New Build Property In Scotland Through Persimmon And Have Just Been Told By A Friend That We Should Not Be Paying Vat On Flooring Or Blinds If They Are Fitted Prior To Our Move (we Are Funding These Personally). Can Anybody Confirm This? Have Asked Persimmon, But They Know Nothing About It (which Is No Suprise Really!)

    After the uprising of the 17th June The Secretary of the Writers Union
    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?
  • The construction company I worked for recently had a vat inspection and the inspector disallowed the VAT we had claimed on all carperts and non integrated white goods stating that anything that could be removed without causing damage we had to pay the VAT on and in theory should have passed it onto the purchaser. He allowed fixed wooden flooring.
