We're about to get under way with a big building project. We've had four estimates, three have included VAT the fourth didn't. He's done work for the architect we're using in the past but the builder's reason for not charging VAT is that he does most of his work internationally rather than in the UK. The business is based over here in the UK. Does that seem right? I don't want to get involved with any cowboys and if this isn't a good reason for not being VAT registered I'd rather walk away from him now. The work shown on his website included extensions etc so a couple of those a year would take him into the VAT threshold I would think.
