Sports Club- Vat question

lulu84

Hi

My brother plays for a local rugby team and they are thinking of buying some flood lights that will cost around £2000.He asked me if the club would be able to claim the vat back on these. The club is not vat registered as I don't think they bring in much if any.

Could they sign up to be vat registered voluntarily like a charity would or is it not worth it.

Thanks
Lisa

I think he needs to look into this a bit more, or maybe you'll be able to make an informed decision depending on the club's financial activities.

Definitely worth considering I think!
