I can’t remember where I read it but I recall reading that VAT is not payable on survey fees such as homebuyers report. Can anyone tell me if this is correct as all quotes I’ve received state +VAT
Thank you
Thank you

Think you were imagining things. No reason why they shouldn't have VAT on them.3

Must have been dreaming, or wishful thinking 😃. Thank you0

Depends on whether or not the surveyor is VAT registered.1

Sometimes the price you'll be given is inc VAT.
Sometimes it'll be plus VAT.
But unless the surveyor's not VAT reg because his turnover's below £85k, you're certainly paying VAT...0 -
Most Surveyors used to do valuations and surveys for lenders normally work for big companies that charge VAT.0
