[cma-l] Licensing and VAT

[Geoff Rogers]

This is a quick query prompted only by our recent invoice from PPL and PRS.

The above is subject to 20% VAT but is sold to us as a a 'licence' to play
the artistes' repertoire.

However, we also pay Ofcom for a 'licence' and these are not subject to
VAT.

Can someone explain simply why VAT is payable on one form of licence and
not the other.

Happy New Year to all.

Kind regards,

Geoff
