An interim grant scheme which
returns, in grant aid, all or part of the actual amount
spent on VAT on eligible repairs to listed places of worship.
The Scheme is currently due to continue until the end of
March 2011.
In order to be considered for
grant aid, all places of worship must be listed with the
relevant statutory listing agency, must be solely or principally
used for public religious worship and must hold at least
6 public religious services per annum. The works must be
repair or maintenance of the fabric, repairs to certain
fixtures, and associated professional fees. The minimum
value for each application is £1,000 excluding VAT.
For a schedule of eligible and
ineligible works, please refer to 'Step 3 -Eligible Expenditure'.
If the works you intend to claim do not appear on this list,
or you would like further clarification on any aspect of
the scheme, please contact the LPW Helpline on 0845 601
5945.
The amount of VAT returned is
determined by the date of the repair works:
