VAT And Five-A-side Football Leagues (EDM2522)

VAT And Five-A-side Football Leagues

EDM number 2522 in 2010-12, proposed by Don Foster on 08/12/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Sports and Taxation.

That this House believes that the decision by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to apply the standard rate of VAT to the provision of five-a-side football leagues will be damaging to participation in sport; notes that the decision affects schools and communities that are recipients of free access to high quality football facilities provided by operators of five-a-side football leagues; further believes that five-a-side football should be encouraged, given its contribution to the Olympic and Paralympic sporting participation goals, particularly as participation in five-a-side football is currently far higher than participation in 11-a-side football; and calls on the Government to instruct HMRC to continue to apply VAT-exempt status to the provision of five-a-side football leagues, as has been the case for more than 20 years.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
