Government Training Provider - Not VAT registered!

Didn't find your answer?

I have client supplying to a Government approved training supplier / back to work advisor. They have said they are not VAT registered and will not pay VAT.
How can this be legal / right?

Possibly ...

... it is covered by an exemption relating to educational services for the outputs, and possibly inputs are exempted too. No idea, just an off the cuff possibility.

Have a look at VAT notice 701/30, especially s13

That's correct

I have one providing health issue services (weight loss) funded by various public bodies.

Yes - shouldn't charge VAT...

... If your client is ultimately being paid from the government funding that the training provider receives, then they shouldn't put VAT on their invoices.

Put another way, the training provider doesn't charge the government VAT for delivering the courses, etc and therefore your client shouldn’t charge VAT on the related supplies.
