Air Ambulance Petition

The Air Ambulance is one of my preferred charities and is supported by many you I'm sure


Please support them by signing this petition.


Return VAT on Air Ambulance fuel payments.

Responsible department: Her Majesty's Treasury.

The Air Ambulance Service is forced to meet rising fuel prices year on year including VAT. The Air Ambulance Service have saved successive governments millions and millions of pounds funded by charitable donations given by the general public to run what has proven to be an essential service.
Whilst the Lifeboat Service has been exempt from VAT on fuel costs since 1977, a similar privilege has not been afforded to the Air Ambulance Service; We call on the government to have an urgent review of this situation and in doing so We call on the government to return in the form of grants to Air Ambulance Service providers all the future VAT which the Treasury collects from them so that the Air Ambulance Service is in practice exempt from paying VAT in the same way as the Lifeboat Service.


Sign petition here

Thanks

Neil

Are they not VAT registered like any other business/charity with an income over the threshold of around £70,000? I must be missing something because I don't see the need for them to be exempted from paying VAT when they can claim it all back anyway.

Signed and added to my facebook page too. The more people who know about it the better.

I did a job for a chap last week who's life had been saved after cutting his arm almost right off with a chainsaw when his ladder slipped!!! He reckons that if he'd had to wait for a road ambulance he'd have been a gonna. Because he was in hospital within 40 mins of the accident occuring they managed to save not only his life but the arm as well.. Not got much movement but it's still there! Certainly made me think!

It is disgraceful that your government makes these essential services rely on charity to function. Of course, as charities, they should not be subject to any fuel tax. However, I cannot sign anything as I do not live in your country.

What really gets my goat, is the way the NHS abuse the air ambulance. It's cheaper for them to send the helicopter for jobs out of town and keep the ambulances parked in town.
Anyhoo, petition signed.

We live in a strange world undertakers (not a sector renown for selling its services cheap ) can tax vehicles as "Private Ambulances" and pay no road tax.
