(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order extends the scope of exemption from Value Added Tax for goods and services supplied as incidental to the provision of education, training or re-training by schools, universities and certain other bodies. This exemption is contained in item 4 of Group 6 of Schedule 6 to the Value Added Tax Act 1983.
At present, the exemption only applies where the goods and services are supplied by the educating body to its own students. From 1 October 1987, the exemption will also apply to goods and services supplied by one educating body to another for the direct use of the latter's students.
