Just finished my PPL(H), last qtr to date I've saved £6,349 I had tried accountants at the start but because of the type of business they couldn''t give a real answer yes,no,maybe I was uurrrrrr !!!!!!! lol go for it.
Please could I contact these people for a chat?
This is all VERY interesting indeed.
I'm training for my PPL(H) now and upto 52 hours so far.
I looked into this last year when I started my training. I asked about the VAT thing (as 20% on top of £250 lesson is hard to swallow). So far, I have paid over £2600 of VAT on the lessons. Plus, there is VAT on the 52 landing fees I've had to pay, and VAT on the ground school courses I have taken and exams. I bet I am easily up to £3000 of VAT since starting this.
When I looked into this last year, the flying school said 'no' to me claiming the VAT back. I also checked with my accountant (who is senior partner of his firm and an ex-tax man) and he also said 'no'.
I have also 'moaned' about this to fellow student pilots and the qualified pilots at the airfield and they've all had to pay VAT, because their accountants and instructors have all said 'you can't claim back the VAT'.
I'd really like to know more about this.
Thanks
