UK Mail strikes deal with Royal Mail to enable it to avoid VAT charges
UK Mail has reached an agreement with
Royal Mail
that will enable it to avoid VAT, The Times reports.
The deal could trigger further business for
UK
Mail with non-VAT registered groups such as banks and charities.
Royal Mail has always held an advantage over its competitors as it has been
exempt from VAT, while its rivals have had to pay the tax.
The European
Commission is currently investigating the matter.
Under the new deal, UK Mail will be able to to act as an agent for Royal
Mail, which will allow it to benefit from Royal Mail’s exempt status.
Instead of having to charge its customers VAT on the entire 16p-17p fee
per item, UK Mail will only have to charge VAT on the 3p-4p element that
represents the collecting and sorting work done by Royal Mail.
