Thanks Pittsextra
I am giving my personal experience. sorry if you think it is scary
If you are reclaiming VAT and do not have a proper trading company (and have managed to get a VAT number in the first place) you are at risk of being required to repay the VAT plus interest plus fine, but the powers they have mean they can do this….
I have looked at the website but can't see that the UK team is VAT registered. Maybe you know more than I do. Which member is getting their CPL via the website????? And has it been accepted by HMRC?????? I suspect not so this is a hypothetical situation, but I would put my money on it not being allowed. You can compete and are competing without a CPL, so what business case is there for spending £60,000?
Anyhow back to OP - I still think he should be very careful about trying to reclaim his training VAT via a company that is managing quite well selling vouchers without a CPL pilot
