This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for building contracts in the UK. It addresses whether a GST-registered contractor can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on materials purchased for a house build. The consensus is that ITC is generally not applicable in such labour and material contracts, and GST is charged at 18% on the construction value, excluding the land cost.
