The Charities’ Tax Reform Group (CTRG) has published MORI research which demonstrates
overwhelming public support for a matching grant scheme to compensate charities 
for the irrecoverable VAT they incur.

The MORI research findings were announced at the House of Commons today at which
CTRG put forward its arguments in support of its campaign to persuade the Government
to compensate charities for the irrecoverable VAT they incur in providing charitable
services.
