Petition update, 15 June 2009

More details from petition creator

Currently Charities have to pay VAT on certain equipment that is used to provide a rescue service at Sea. Lifeboats and vessels are VAT excempt but Rescue Boards, Rescue Tubes, Signage, Trailers, Resuscitaton Equipment all need to have VAT paid on them. This is unfair given that charities are raising funds to provide a rescue service and a proportion of their fundraising is then consumed by VAT.
