Make all costs for Fire Prevention and Cladding safety works exempt from VAT

Closed 217 signatures

What the petition asks

The Treasury should not profit or add to the hardship and costs resulting from building control failures on flammable cladding and insulation, and the massive costs to residential apartments for cladding removal and additional fire protection.
It is immoral for the Government to charge 20% on Fire Safety while the costs of major works are forcing people to lose their savings and, in some cases, their homes!
