Community Interest Companies: VAT
(asked on 4th July 2019) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of extending VAT relief to community interest companies; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 12th July 2019
The Government makes available several VAT reliefs for charitable activities including zero rates for the construction of charitable buildings, sales of donated goods and charitable advertising.
Under EU VAT law it is not possible to extend these reliefs to other organisations and while the UK remains a member of the EU our rights and obligations remain unchanged.
