Charities seek commitment on VAT Compensation

Abolish VAT on Giving - End the Human Cost of VAT on Charities

The public are generally not aware that charities pay VAT on essential expenditure and that a portion of donations is returned to the Government by charities in VAT payments.

The ICTRG is campaigning to remove the VAT burden on charities through the introduction of a VAT compensation scheme by government. Between now and the general election ICTRG will be highlighting this demand to politicians, the media and the general public.
