VAT and Business Rates

[Mattonella Tile Studio]

Quick one -

Are business rates zero rated for VAT, exempt for VAT, or outside the scope of VAT, please?

Outside the scope.

It is not payment for something you have received, it's just a payment (falls into the same VAT category as if someone stole the cash from you!).

Pretty much the definition that should be in the dictionary.

As least Dick Turpin had a mask....

Are you saying I'm not receiving excellent value for money for the non domestic rates that I pay over?

Of course you are. All our government departments do a wonderful job.
