Charities providing palliative care, such as hospices, are already able to fully recover their input VAT under Section 33C and Section 33D of the 1994 VAT Act. This means that VAT is not a burden on those hospices. VAT incurred by NHS Palliative care organisations is funded by the government through existing budgets.
