- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to written statement HCWS177 published on 2 July 2026, whether the Government has assessed the compatibility of its proposed changes with the UK's international obligations relating to VAT.
- Answer
-
In response to an oral question on 23 June, I announced that the government will take forward a new approach on VAT on free-of-charge donations of medicines, consisting of either changes to the VAT rules or a reimbursement scheme.
The Government is currently engaging with stakeholders on the details of these options and will ensure it upholds the UK's international obligations relating to VAT.
