- HM Treasury will introduce a new VAT relief for business donations of goods to charity for onward distribution or use in charity services, as announced in Autumn Budget 2025.
- The relief aims to encourage charitable donations, reduce waste, and prolong the life of goods, with strong support from respondents.
- Most respondents favored a £100 per item threshold for eligible goods, though some raised concerns about excluding higher-value items.
- The relief will broadly cover categories like electronics, white goods, hygiene products, and clothing, but exclude alcohol, tobacco, and luxury goods.
- Safeguards will be implemented to prevent charities from being burdened with unusable or poor-quality goods.
