However, this does not apply in the case of house renovations.

An individual has to lodge the fully completed 

form, together with the required documentary evidence with any of the FRCA Customer Service Centre.

What are the requirements?

Evidence that needs to be submitted with the completed application form are listed below:

All tax invoices submitted must be appropriately sequenced in order using Suppliers Names and Dates, before lodging application. All these details must be entered in the NDH Input Schedule (IRS033b) to be attached to the completed application form.

Site Inspection

In the case of the new dwelling house built in an outlying island or remote area, a government officer (e.g. Police, Health or Education Officer) will be required to assist FRCA in this regard.
