Petition to create a tax incentive to favour retrofit instead of demolition and new build

Molly Scott Cato launched this petition calling on the Government to “0% rate VAT on refurbishment projects total costs if they substantially reduce CO2e emission of the building; impose a 20% VAT for new build schemes, reduced to 5% if the build meets minimum passive house standard; to 0% rate VAT for all items on a regularly updated list of energy-saving products”

More than ever, we need to find ways to make our existing homes and housing fit for the future and lessen the impact on our communities and the surrounding environment.
