VAT Should be passed on to the end user. Not the Pilot the Pax, and It is on the ticket price/Rental Rate.
Claims the System would be to complicated are unfounded if incoperated into the training records so stringently required for Licence Issue.
I read a goverment white paper on this and their take was that All pilots were airline sponsored and therfore the VAT was recliamed by the Company. If they didn't charge VAT in the first place, there would only be a cut in paperwork! and the totally ignored self-funders would be helped.
Today I finaly checked my Proper Mail address and found a goverment type worker offering to help write a letter, If your listening, sorry it took so long to reply, and your services could be invaluable in this instance.
What about an offical PPRUNE partition? Does BALPA care? (VAT not effecting BA in any way)
backed up by a mailbomb from everyone to there respective MPs.
PS, Yes I'm against VAT
