Remove VAT from the Bomber Command memorial

The refund was only a partial one, the fund still had more applications for refunds left to file (estimated £800,000).

However, before they were filed for, in January 2012 the government stopped all further VAT reclaimings by charities, and increased the VAT rate to 20%.

The current estimate of VAT still owed by the fund is about £700,000.

done with the greatest of pleasure…and if the vat already has been removed,at least the numbers signing the petion will show the feelings there is about the long over due memorial… 55,573 bless them all-lest we forget…

Reading between the lines; this may be VAT payable on professional services, as opposed to the cost of building the monument.

It was refunded some months ago see here

£1 million.

I thought that Cameron had already waived the VAT. This article seems to suggest that he has.

‘This is in addition to £1million that the Government has already contributed towards the VAT costs of the construction of the memorial.’
