The Charity Commission, in collaboration with HM Customs and Excise, has published a notice about exempt and non-exempt VAT status for cultural charities such as museums, theatres, art galleries and zoos.

The notice follows the ruling in December 2003 about London Zoo’s status and anticipates changes being introduced on 1 June 2004. These could mean that some cultural organisations which currently do not qualify as eligible bodies could shortly do so.
