Campaign started to exempt from VAT the fundraising missions to install defibrillators. A spokeperson says: “It’s great that defibrillators are becoming more readily available to help people in an emergency, but local organisations and charities are facing an extra cost when they look to purchase a unit for their community. The majority of defibrillators bought by these groups face a 20 per cent VAT charge on top of the units they buy – that’s around an extra £200 each time. This is a tax on saving lives”.
The campaign goal is that defibrillators bought for use by community groups, charities and sports clubs should be exempt from VAT.
