PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Ambulance Services: VAT (29 October 2014)

Question Asked

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will exempt charitably-funded rapid response vehicles from VAT.

Asked by:
Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

Many already benefit from a UK zero-rate. So for example, the supply of an ambulance (including an air ambulance) that is purchased with charitable funds is zero-rated for VAT when it is supplied to an eligible body such as an NHS hospital or a charity that provides rescue or first aid services.
