Council Tax and VAT

[elwood]

Hi

I am about to start work on a barn conversion at the moment its a cow shed
we are going to live on site in a static for about 3 years at what point should I start paying council tax.

Also I have my own building company which is vat registered
can I claim 100% of the vat back on labour and materials.

Check with the council re council tax and look at the DIY Projects section (Self Build - Reclaiming VAT) for help with the VAT
