Carbon Monoxide: Alarms
- Question
- To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will exempt domestic carbon monoxide alarms from value added taxation.
- Answer
-
The scope of exemptions from VAT is limited by European agreements under which it is not possible to exempt domestic carbon monoxide alarms from VAT. Similarly, under VAT agreements with our European partners signed by successive Governments, we can retain our existing VAT zero rates (which do not include carbon monoxide alarms) but may not extend them or introduce new ones.
