VAT: Uniforms
- Question
- To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of reducing to 5 per cent. the rate of VAT on upper body, badged items of school uniform for all school children under 18 years old.
- Answer
-
No estimate has been made. Our European VAT agreements, signed by successive governments, do not allow us to introduce a reduced VAT rate for those badged items of school uniform that are not already VAT zero-rated.
