When my husband passed away I put his donations towards 2 defibrillators. What I strongly objected to was paying the VAT on these . I contacted my MP who in turn contacted the person who dealt with this in government ... yes as person donating the defibrillators have to pay VAT ... BUT ... if I went through a charity or business no VAT ... this is taxing peoples lives, if no VAT I could have purchased an extra one to help others ... a good turn does you good ... proud as in Memory of my lovely husband, but why VAT on life saving equipment being donated ... I wonder ...
