Legal Services Commission - New rate of VAT from January 1 2010

We've published updated guidance on our position on the new rate of VAT applicable from January 1st 2010.

The guidance can be found, as before and alongside previously issued guidance, in the Pay Rates and Schemes section of the LSC website. We have consulted HMRC on this guidance, which reflects what we did for the last rate change.

Our General Principle remains the same -The VAT rate is driven by the date the case concluded.

This guidance will explain the rate of VAT we will pay dependant on how you report your work, and this is the level of VAT that HMRC will expect from you.

The LSC cannot provide VAT advice, as you are responsible for your own VAT accounting.  We recommend that you discuss any issues with your local VAT office.
