Written specifically for churches, this resource has been completely updated and expanded to provide an essential reference tool for navigating the VAT system. Whilst presenting a comprehensive overview, it is user friendly and includes some major changes to VAT implemented in recent years. Of particular importance to churches are the sections dealing with land transactions, such as purchasing or renting property, and the coverage of topics such as Bible weeks, nurseries and playgroups.
Useful appendices contain a range of pro-forma VAT certificates to support claims for VAT zero rating and exemptions. Whether VAT registered or not, the overview of charity reliefs, as well as some little known tips on how to avoid paying VAT unnecessarily, may save some churches many thousands of pounds.
