HMRC has announced a temporary VAT Zero rate treatment which would remove a VAT cost on specific PPE items but that still leaves the VAT liability on gifts to be accounted for in the period to the 30th April 2020 on the value of such donated PPE equipment. Whilst this VAT liability will remain, the Government has announced that the value of VAT collected by HMRC on donated PPE equipment will be donated back to NHS Charities by HMRC.
