I'm slightly worried myself, we are a small, non-VAT B&B and we have just bought a shepherd's hut to expand our offering from one room to two. The hut was delivered a few weeks ago and has its first paying guests at the end of the month.

It's not a static caravan, but then it's not a tourer either. It's a wheeled contraption designed to be hauled up the hillside by a horse and left in a field as shepherd's accommodation. Ours sits at the front of our property and while it is fully mobile, we're not intending to move it whilst in service and have it connnected into all the mains services.

There was no VAT on the purchase but I have just fired off a quick email to the manufacturer to find out whether he will be affected by the rule change - it might make the difference as to whether we can even think about buying a second hut at the end of this season.
