VAT On Audio Books (EDM939)

VAT On Audio Books

EDM number 939 in 2003-04, proposed by John Barrett on 30/03/2004.

That this House notes that although print books are zero-rated for VAT, audio books carry the full rate of VAT; believes that audio books are vital for the three million people in th United Kingdom who have sight problems, dyslexia or other reading disabilities and should not be treated as a luxury; calls on the Government to work within the European Union to achieve zero-rated VAT on unabridged audio books and e-books; and congratulates the campaign of the Royal National Institute for the Blind for their campaigning in this regard.

This motion has been signed by a total of 79 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
