 Topic - VAT on avalanche kit
|
|---|

I want to start a campaign to ask HM Government to remove VAT on avalanche safety equipment. Everyone going into the mountains in winter needs to take a probe (£30), shovel (£40) and transceiver (£250) to be safe.
The VAT on these items is about £64, they are almost never used and can be lifesavers. without them quick rescue (<15 minutes) is almost impossible.
Tragic events in Glencoe reflect just how dangerous the winter mountains can be for even experienced people.
VAT was removed from cycling helmets a number of years ago now it is time to improve the chances of people venturing out into the snowy mountains. |
