GUMPY Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Only if the batteries are of the type to be used in domestic solar installations. Which will rule out 99% of boat batteries 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveP Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 It's clear from the VAT notice (708/6), that the zero-rating is temporary, can only be applied by a company actually installing them (ie not by the end customer merely buying them for self-installation) and the only boats covered are houseboats and those on residential moorings paying council tax.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
