This may be a very silly question but here goes. I bought my house 3.5 years ago as a ftb and paid no stamp duty. My girlfriend and I are getting married and are buying a new house and wish to rent mine out. As I haven’t lived in it for five years this would involve a stamp duty claw back on the original amount paid as revenue now see this as an investment property. This stamp duty is not calculated pro rata ie I will have to pay full whack!( not 0.3). My question is if this is now considered an investment property am I now entitled to claim back the VAT on the original purchase price? (I also know that this amount would then be payable back to revenue in the form of VAT on any rental income but it would allow me to pay the stamp duty up front).
Thanks in advance for any help.
