Vat still at 5% ...fingers crossed

Not heard anything about the C&CC extending membership fees again, my sub is due tomorrow after the 3 month holiday. The booking terms are officially much more flexible.

I was just thinking the same thing!

I think it will be a case of - it just is, OK!

We've had a letter Peedee, our cards run out soon and we can produce the letter to say we have an extension from 16/03/21 to 16/06/21 if needed. We will need the letter as we are hoping to use C&CC sites in May.

Or is this the extension from last year..maybe I'm confused?! 

I think we posted at the same moment!

Just a slight correction the EU required a minimum rate of 15% and member governments were able to select any rate above that. I suppose the Government could do away with VAT and reintroduce Purchase Tax? To me it's a bit academic because I am not convinced it was necessary now or previously. I think the pub/restaurant trade might be different case but perhaps it was difficult to separate them out? 

The Club, having passed on the reduction to members last time I just can't see them not doing the same this time. How would they justify that? No doubt we will get clarification in the next day or two.

I suspect so Bru. I had a news letter yesterday and there was no mention of a further subs extension.

Varying VAT Rates in Europe  We have always been able to set our own rates.  Leaving the EU had no effect.

The letter we have has to be used in place of our soon to be out of date membership cards..I presume we'll get new cards in June instead of mid March.

Our extension was from last November to February and we had the same letter. The renewal notice and new cards arrived in Feb.

I stand corrected on the 15% minimum...which was a requirement set by the EU..In a previous life I had read a note on 20% being mooted.

As for the club passing on the VAT reduction...this was just my personal opinion...and as you yourself say 'was it necessary previously'...agree the club will have difficulty justifying any change in policy..

If you read the terms and conditions of a site booking made with the club it clearly states that vat will be charged at the going rate. So, it's early starts for us again adjusting payments lol
