Written Question
VAT
Monday 18th August 2014

Asked by: Phillip Lee (Liberal Democrat - Bracknell)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to remove VAT from death notices.

Answered by David Gauke

This is not possible under current EU VAT law.

Although EU law allows a VAT exemption for certain costs charged by an undertaker or crematorium, this does not extend to such things as death notices, newspaper announcements, announcement cards, flowers or wreaths, all of which are standard rated.
