Under the Scheme, the government is paying £400 of the domestic customer’s energy bills. Payments made under the scheme into the customers energy account are regarded as third-party payments from the government. Energy suppliers are required to account for VAT at the reduced rate of five percent under the normal rules, as the payment is made for a taxable supply of energy. There are no plans to review the VAT legislation. answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 27/02/2023 16:29:37 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2024 answer text VAT has been designed as a broad-based tax on consumption, and the twenty per cent standard rate applies to most goods and services. Whilst there are exceptions to the standard rate, these have always been strictly limited by both legal and fiscal considerations.<p> </p><p>Welfare services provided by local authorities and similar bodies and charities are exempt from VAT, meaning no VAT is charged to the final consumer.</p><p>Welfare services provided by state regulated private welfare institutions are also exempt from VAT. State regulated suppliers are those that are registered with the Care Quality Commission, and are eligible for the VAT exemption where they are providing services that are state regulated.</p><p>The regulation requirement ensures that VAT relief is limited to providers certified as offering safe and high-quality welfare services. This is a long-standing requirement, and there are no plans to make changes to these rules.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 01/03/2024 09:27:56 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
