Agricultural Shows: VAT
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the level of delays by HMRC in processing VAT rebate claims submitted by agricultural shows in respect of VAT exempt admissions income; and what steps she is taking to ensure timely processing of such claims.
Answered by Dan Tomlinson
HMRC are responsible for the effective management and oversight of the UK tax system. They consider all VAT rebate claims in line with VAT law including the fundraising exemption.
Where claimants provide all evidence required under the law, they will receive a decision within HMRC’s service standard.
