Unfair anomaly means leaseholders paying 20% extra to fix mistakes of developers who paid no VAT, MPs say
Rebel Conservative MPs have called on the government to stop charging VAT on fire safety repairs to rescue leaseholders from a potential £2.5bn tax bill.
Tory backbenchers on Friday tabled amendments to the building safety bill in an attempt to protect hundreds of thousands of households from soaring costs of fixing combustible cladding and other defects discovered after the 14 June 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, which killed 72 people.
