This bill would exempt certain goods or services from VAT if they are beneficial to the environment, health and safety, education, or charitable purposes. In practice, eligible items could be bought without adding VAT, making them cheaper for organisations and individuals using them. It does not change the VAT rate generally, but creates targeted exemptions.
The bill is currently at the Second Reading in the House of Commons (as of 17 April 2026). If it progresses, it would move to Committee stage and subsequent readings, then onward to the Lords.
