Bill Lewis takes a look at some of the recent tribunal cases between HMRC and fee-charging charities.
Experts present an update on recent VAT and tax technical points. Reverse charge reversal Most aspects of VAT are difficult if one looks closely at the situation, but none more so than the reverse charge. This is a counter-intuitive measure which creates output tax liabilities out of purchases, and can cause the need for an organisation to register for VAT even if it makes no taxable supplies whatever.
Bill Lewis discusses the reduced rate of VAT for welfare advice and information. Readers may call that in the 2005 budget Gordon Brown announced a new 5 per cent reduced rate of VAT for charities and state regulated welfare providers. This would apply where payment is received to provide: "Advice or information connected with or intended to promote the welfare of elderly or disabled people, or children. Examples include child protection videos or expert advice on the welfare of children or the elderly, when provided by charities working in those areas. This reduced rate will only apply where the goods and services are not otherwise exempt from VAT. Therefore the VAT treatment of services of care, treatment or instruction remains unchanged by the introduction of this reduced rate."
