Check the VAT rate on residential and conversion work before invoicing
We take off your hands: working out whether each residential or conversion job is zero-rated, at 5% or standard-rated, and what evidence backs it.
You get: a VAT rate note for each job with reasons, a certificate checklist and the first invoice held until evidence is on file, for your financial controller.

The problem
We are never completely sure whether a conversion job should be at 5% or zero, and getting it wrong costs us.
How it works
What comes in
- Contract and scope, planning permission description, property history, zero-rating and relevant residential certificates, HMRC VAT Notice 708 rules
What AI does
Matches the job facts to the VAT rules, proposes a rate with reasons, lists missing evidence and holds the first invoice until the evidence is filed.
What you get
- A VAT rate decision note per job, a certificate checklist and an exceptions list
Who signs it off
Your financial controller or VAT adviser confirms the rate on anything unusual. The system drafts and doesn't give tax advice.
What it needs to work
- Job set-up data with planning details
- A maintained rule set reviewed by a VAT adviser
If those aren’t in place yet, you’ll hear that before anything gets built.
Who it’s for
- Main contractors
- Specialist subcontractors
- Developers and housebuilders
