"If you go beyond maintenance… technically, it wouldn’t qualify." In this clip from episode 17 of the Berthon International podcast, Joe Francis (Director of VAT and Customs at PKF Francis Clark) breaks down that Returned Goods Relief (RGR) can protect VAT status, but only if the conditions are met. Once work moves from maintenance into improvement, that position can change. Refits, upgrades, and time out of the UK all need to be considered properly before making a move.
