[cma-l] Licensing and VAT

[Nathan Silveston]

As I understand it. They are actually supplying it as a service and so have to invoice with vat. There seems to be some grey area as to how they can call it a licence.

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
