From 1 April 2022, energy efficiency products installed in a building are VAT-treated how, and for how long is the period?

The policy being tested is that energy-saving materials installed in a domestic property can be supplied and installed at a zero VAT rate for a limited time. From 1 April 2022, energy efficiency products installed in a dwelling are eligible for 0% VAT on both the supply of the materials and the installation work, for a five-year period from the installation date. This means you pay no VAT on the product itself or on the labour charged for fitting it during those five years. After that five-year window, standard VAT rules apply again to both materials and installation. The aim is to encourage energy efficiency improvements by reducing upfront VAT costs.
