answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2021 answer text <p>VAT is a broad-based tax on consumption and the standard rate of 20 per cent normally applies to most goods and services, including PCR tests. Medical testing, where it is administered by registered health professionals, is exempt from VAT. The Government also continues to offer free COVID-19 testing for those with COVID-19 symptoms.</p><p> </p><p>Testing individuals after they arrive in the UK is an important tool to help the Government protect the public from the risk posed by imported cases of COVID-19 and to identify variants of concern. The Government recognises that the cost of PCR tests can be high, which is why it is working with the travel industry and private testing providers to see how costs can be reduced while ensuring that travel remains as safe as possible.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 09/07/2021 12:44:22 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
