I need to confirm that the retail property I am renting is or is not subject to VAT.
Background:
Built in 1992
I rented unit from in 1994, question of Vat on rent never came up
Lease mentions "plus VAT if applicable", so leaves question hanging in the air.
Recently an auctioneer friend had a look at the lease and reckoned that the Unit is relatively new and would most likely be vat able.
Never got an invoice or receipt from landlord.
Asked landlord about it, he came back saying the rent is not Vatable. Check online, found this area of Vat to be most complicated.
My question, is there a government office that I can contact to establish the definitive status of the VAT liability on my unit?
