Do we have to charge a registered charity Vat ?

Postby Shaun T on Tue May 29, 2007 8:43 am

Hello - a customer has asked us to print some Christmas cards for a Registered Charity. He has said we do not need to charge Vat on the printing work as new rules which came in a year ago exempt Reg Charities from having to pay Vat on printed material. Is he correct as we have not heard about this change.
Many thanks

There is no specific zero-rating provision for the supply of greetings cards to a charity, and greetings cards are not zero-rated under the normal printed matter rules.

Supplies of advertising can be zero-rated to charities but I think it unlikely that this would include Christmas cards.
