The Listed Places of Worship
Grant Scheme administrators are investigating the possibility
of introducing an online self service application. This
would provide you, the claimants, with the ability to input
claims and upload supporting documentation as well as review
claim progress and claim history. Before any final decisions
are taken, we are seeking the views of current claimants.

Transitional
arrangements for alterations underway prior to 21 March
2012.
Under transitional arrangements VAT zero-rating continues
to apply until 30 September 2015 for certain approved alterations
where either a 'relevant consent' was applied for before
21 March 2012 or a written contract was entered into before
21 March 2012. More information is available in HMRC's Information
Sheet 10/12. Please
click here for details
Where the work performed qualifies for zero-rating under the
transitional rules and your builder has charged VAT in error,
the VAT cannot be reclaimed through the Listed Places of Worship
Grant Scheme. Your builder should instead consult HMRC's public
notice 700/45 on How to correct VAT errors and make adjustments
of claims. Please
