The 0% VAT rate is currently scheduled to end. Here's why acting now makes sense.
The Treasury has confirmed 0% VAT on energy-saving materials until 31 January 2027. Installations must be completed before this date.
After January 2027, VAT could return to 5% or higher. The current rate is a temporary measure to encourage green home upgrades.
0% VAT can be combined with ECO4, Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and other grants for maximum savings on your installation.
With electricity prices fluctuating, generating your own power with solar and storing it in batteries makes more financial sense than ever.
