answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2023 answer text <p>Under the current VAT rules, all children’s clothing and footwear designed for young children who are less than 14 years of age, including school uniforms, attract a zero-rate of VAT, meaning that no VAT is charged on the sale of these items.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, certain school uniform items may also benefit from a zero rate of VAT irrespective of size. For instance, garments which bear a prominent logo, crest or badge identifying them as part of the official uniform of schools catering exclusively for children under 14 years of age can be zero-rated.</p><p> </p><p>The UK is one of only two countries among the 37 OECD member countries to maintain a VAT relief for children’s clothing, which costs the Exchequer £2 billion per year.</p><p> </p><p>Going further would impose additional pressure on the public finances, to which VAT makes a significant contribution. Whilst we have no current plans to extend the existing zero rate, we nevertheless keep all taxes under review.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 13/07/2023 15:35:48 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
