Hi Everyone,
As the title suggests all I want to know is are competition fees exempt from VAT. I play at a proprietor owned club.

Thanks
Chris

Well, I've never been given a VAT receipt when I have paid for one!

Currently all golf clubs are going through a case with HMRC in regards reclaiming back VAT on visitor green fees which are exempt from VAT

Competition fees though - not sure though but believe it's not exempt

Are you sure it's all clubs Phil? I was under the impression it's just private members clubs although happy to be corrected.

where the entry fee is exclusively used to provide the prizes then the supply is exempt from VAT.

in member's clubs, as long as entry is restricted to members, that too should be exempt from VAT.

if you want to churn through the VAT Act its in Sch 9 Group 10, but i reckon the above will do for me.
