The article was from December 2011, and referred to one single VAT refund.
The article also said that there were £800,000 in additional VAT refunds still to be approved "over the next 3 years".
The petition says that in January 2012 the government stopped all further VAT reclaimings by charities, and increased the VAT rate to 20%... meaning that not only would the Bomber memorial fund not get any further refunds, but that they would have to pay even more, due to the rate hike!
I'm a US citizen, living in the US, so I can't sign... but I urge you-all to get busy publicizing this issue!
