The government regularly meets organisations in the heritage and conservations sector to discuss a range of issues.

EU VAT rules do not allow the introduction of a reduced rate or exemption for goods and services supplied exclusively for the repair, maintenance and renovations of listed buildings. While the UK remains a member of the EU, we will continue to abide by our rights and obligations.
