VAT: EV charging points in new dwellings are zero-rated

By   1 September 2026

HMRC has updated Notice 708 (para 13.8.1) on 26 August 2026 to include electric vehicle charging points in the list of accepted building materials ordinarily incorporated into a building or its site. These installations qualify for zero or reduced VAT rating when supplied alongside eligible construction or conversion services of the construction or conversion of new dwellings. 

It should be noted that this zero/reduced rating only applies to EV charging points as part of residential construction and that standalone equipment sales and public EV charging services have different VAT rules.
