0% VAT on Energy Saving Materials is due to end in 2027.

Using heat pumps as a case study, our modelling suggests a return to 5% VAT could have implications for deployment, investment and economic growth across the sector.

What happens if the 0% VAT relief on Energy Saving Materials ends in 2027?

Our analysis suggests that a return to 5% could result in around 365,000 fewer heat pump installations between 2027 and 2040, and a £2.5 billion reduction in GVA.
