| IMPORTANT NOTICE http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/32229 Bring back zero-rate VAT on alterations to listed churches There is to be an extension of the standard rate of VAT (currently zero rated) to alternations to listed places of worship. This will have the effect of penalising the Church of England's 12,500 listed cathedral and church buildings, almost entirely maintained by volunteers and voluntary giving, who are currently altering their buildings to make them suitable for use by the wider community. The extra cost this will impose will seriously threaten the continuation of such works. Extending the remit of the Listed Places of Worship Grants Scheme, with no additional funding, will go no way to mitigating this. It merely means a shrinking pot will be stretched even further. You may wish to register an objection to this by signing an e-petition if you have an email account and access to the Internet. PLEASE SIGN THE E-PETITION BY CLICKING HERE OR ON THE LINK ABOVE The last date for signing is 30th JUNE 2012
