What it protects

On a £300,000 new build, the VAT on materials is roughly £20,000 to £30,000.

One missed or wrong invoice can cost more than the Build Pass. On our own build, a single invoice had £305 of VAT on groundwork that probably shouldn't have been charged at all. Read our story

One payment, no subscription

One price per build, however long it takes. Nothing renews.

Founding price

£210 is our founding price. From 1 January, it goes up to £295 for new customers. If you've already paid, nothing changes.

Paid straight to you

You submit the claim yourself, so HMRC pays your VAT back directly, never through us.

What you get

From the first invoice to the claim

Checked as it arrives

Supplier, VAT number, your name and address, every line. Anything wrong is flagged while the merchant will still fix it.

Fixes, written for you

When an invoice needs reissuing, the email is drafted. You send it, add the corrected copy, and it's checked again.

Your claim, ready

When the build is finished, your schedule of invoices and claim pack are ready to download, check and submit yourself.

Add-on · opening soon

Claim Check £425

When your build is finished: your whole claim checked again from scratch, with a real person looking at anything the checks disagree on, and a written note of what was checked. It isn't tax advice, and you still submit the claim yourself.

Good to know

What's not included

Tax advice

We check documents against published guidance and tell you what we find. Where something needs professional judgement, we say so.

Submitting for you

You submit the claim yourself, so HMRC pays the refund straight into your account, not through us, and you stay in control of what's sent.

HMRC enquiries

If HMRC questions a position rather than asking for a document, that's specialist work. We'll quote separately or refer you on.

If your build doesn't qualify for the scheme, we'll tell you before you pay anything. Rather do it all yourself? The guides are free, and always will be.
