Home owners urged to upgrade to a designer kitchen before New Year to avoid VAT increase

With a major VAT increase set to kick in on 4 January it’s sensible to invest in new products before the New Year.

The Government’s legislation will mean VAT rises from 17.5 per cent to 20 per cent in the New Year.

So for larger investments, such as home improvements, customers can save hundreds, or even thousands, of pounds by making an early purchase.

The tax increase also means it will cost companies more to order in materials.

So experts at Kitchen Design Centre are advising potential buyers to purchase their modern kitchens now to avoid the VAT increase.

With expected suppliers increases of 8 per cent, and the VAT increase of 2.5 per cent, buying a designer kitchen in the New Year will cost consumers a whopping 10 per cent more.

Putting that into context, a stylish £10,000 modern kitchen will cost £1000 more after 4 January.

And, with a only limited amount of installation slots available, Kitchen Design Centre urges its customers to place orders for new kitchens before 8 November.

Any kitchens which are booked after this date will have to be fitted in the New Year and incur the increases.

There is a unique service available - free kitchen design evaluations to inspire customers to unlock the true potential of their homes. The service is available by applying online or the visiting the showrooms.

The showrooms are located in Manchester just off the M60 at junction 22, in Blackburn - positioned on the A666 at Brownhill's roundabout - and in Colne near the end of the M65.
