Mr. Whittingdale
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what his policy is on the charging of VAT on repairs and improvements to village halls; and if he will make a statement. [78288]
Dawn Primarolo
There is no scope for VAT relief on Village halls under the EC Sixth VAT Directive. Therefore their repair and maintenance is subject to VAT at the standard rate.
