Remove VAT On The Bomber Command Memorial - e-petitions





.

Done, hope it works.

Done but it needs an awful lot more signatures to get anywhere. :(

Done but I was only Number 178 to sign it!

Now 188! Climbing very slowly.

Foldie:rolleyes:

We must do better than this!!!:sad::sad:

Signed; and so have a few of my mates.

Duncs:ok:

I thought the vat had already been written off?

Oh, if that's true it is fantastic news :ok:

Have you picked the right fight? I thought it was the security bill that needed to be funded now: £700,000 or so.

S-D

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!

Done @ 248 ... we need more ...

Done.....265. Keep going.

267 - cronies notified to join the bandwagon

Done and passed around.
Even signed by fashionista younger daughter who wouldn't recognise a Lanc if it was glued to a Louboutin heel :ok:
Oops! Just been reminded by Mrs Bas that I had D2 sit in the cockpit of a museum display Lanc :O

323 now. Come on peeps!

Done (no. 324) & shared to FB.

I had already signed, but have posted it on another RAF web site.

Added to with pleasure, 329 now :D
