This is a case which considered whether certain building works were to be zero-rated (as the Appellant argued) as supplies of construction of a building intended solely for relevant residential or relevant charitable use. The relevant statutory provisions were Item 2 and Notes 4, 5, 6, 16 and 18 of Group 8, Schedule 5 VATA 1994. The Commissioners were successful and the Tribunal concluded that the works did not constitute works of construction but were merely works of alteration.
