<p>Pilot training may be exempt from VAT when provided by an eligible body which meets
certain conditions (for example, when provided by a government institution or certain
regulated organisations), but otherwise will be subject to the standard rate. The
Government currently has no plans to remove VAT on pilot flight training courses more
broadly. VAT has been designed as a broad-based tax on consumption, and the twenty
per cent standard rate applies to the vast majority of goods and services. While there
are exceptions to the standard rate, these have always been strictly limited by both
legal and fiscal considerations.</p>
