Hi all,

As you are probably aware, the air ambulance is a charity and works off donations to operate each year. One of their main costs is the fuel which has 5% VAT on.

Air ambulances are not exempt from the VAT on the fuel they use, a strange anomaly compared with the RNLI who have been for many years.

There's an e-petition here, if anyone would like to sign up. Aim is for 100k signatures so the issue can be debated in the commons.

I appreciate for many it seems something you will never need, but you never know when you have a nasty accident out driving one day. Plus it costs you nothing and will save most air ambulances a fortune each year. :D

Thanks
 
Done!

I experienced the air ambulance services about 7 years ago after a pretty bad hockey accident.

It's a fantastic service....one of which shouldn't be taken for granted.
 
Done

Mate was airlifted on our ski trip (Swiss) in Jan...2K bill swiftly followed!

Insulting VAT is being added to the costs of a wonderfull service
