Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Duchy of Cornwall is subject to rules relating to Value Added Tax (VAT) on the same basis as other bodies; if so, whether the Duchy is registered for VAT; and how much VAT was charged by the Duchy in each of the last two financial years.

The Duchy of Cornwall is subject to VAT on the same basis as other bodies.

In response to the second and third parts of the question, HM Revenue and Customs ensures that everyone pays the tax they owe under the law. They cannot comment on the detailed affairs of individual taxpayers.
