That this House recognises and honours the contribution made by people from India, South Asia and other Commonwealth nations in the First and Second World Wars; acknowledges that these efforts contributed significantly to the Allied war effort; notes that despite this scale of service and sacrifice, the story of many of these individuals of Hindu, Sikh, Muslim and Christian faith who fought for Britain from an undivided India remains under-represented in remembrance ceremonies, and that initiatives such as the campaign by Mission Marigold seek to ensure further recognition of Indian soldiers, including the 74,000 who died in the First World War and the 87,000 who died in the Second World War, who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom and peace; welcomes the symbol of the marigold, adopted to purposely accompany the poppy to mark the service of the 1.4 million Indian soldiers in the First World War and 2.5 million in the Second World War; calls for a renewed commitment to remembering all who served in the First and Second World Wars, including those from Britain, the Commonwealth and beyond; and pays tribute to all veteran organisations in Britain and across the Commonwealth nations for their enduring work in preserving this legacy.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that VAT policy does not discourage participation in Remembrance events organised by (a) charities and (b) local authorities.

The Government recognises the importance of Remembrance events and the role they play in honouring those who have served.
Where a charity chooses to offer its goods or services for free and invite voluntary donations, no VAT is charged. Charities also rightly enjoy generous tax reliefs, worth over £6 billion in 2024, including Gift Aid, exemptions from corporation tax and a number of VAT reliefs to support fund-raising activities. However, where charities sell goods and services, for example charging a set price, and the charity is VAT registered, it must charge VAT unless a VAT relief is available.
HMRC does not hold information on VAT charged on specific products or services. This is because businesses are not required to provide figures at a product level within their VAT returns, as this would impose an excessive administrative burden.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the annual revenue raised through VAT charged on Remembrance wreaths purchased by (a) local authorities, (b) schools and (c) community organisations.
