A new reduced 12% VAT rate will be applied to the delivery of construction and assembly work on a completed building for housing, as well as construction and delivery of buildings for social housing. The same regime will be applied to the supply of heating and cooling, which could be of interest not only to heating companies, but also to landlords.
