Our local member of the European Parliament Chris Davies MEP is campaigning to persuade the Government to make our mountain rescue services exempt from paying VAT.
Mountain rescue services provide an invaluable service to many people who find themselves in need on our nearby hills and mountains. At present they have to pay VAT on supplies. Chris Davies is calling on the Government to support the service by taking the small step of exempting the service from VAT.
