The insitute supports the full refund model (FRM), which extends the scope of s 41 to allow organisations to recover VAT on goods and services in respect of their non-business activities, particularly in simplification terms for s 41 organisations dealing with contracted-out services.
The CIOT believes that partial exemption should be considered as part of proposals around the full refund model, to bring the VAT recovery position for government departments more closely in line with that for other statutory authorities (in s 33).
The CIOT encourages the Treasury to consult with private sector suppliers providing outsourced services which may find themselves with inequitable VAT treatment under the FRM, to ensure that examples of distortions of competition rules are raised and considered fully.
