The Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme
The scheme allows pupils to purchase instruments at the ex. VAT price
through their school or Local Education Authority.
In order to benefit from this scheme, instrument orders for music pupils should
be placed by the school or Local Education Authority. The School or Local
Education Authority will purchase the instrument from us, and pay the VAT.
However, the VAT can subsequently re-claimed by them, and hence the pupil can be
charged the ex VAT amount. Instruments ordered in this way must be delivered to
the school address.
Please note that the instrument should be for the pupil as part of their
training, and thus must be appropriate. The pupil must be in full time education
and be receiving appropriate musical tuition as part of their curriculum within
the school, the instrument must be portable (otherwise it is deemed to be for
the school and not the pupil) and the pupil must not be charged more than the
ex. VAT price.
HM Customs RULES:
The Procedure has been reviewed and approved by H.M.
Customs and Excise and in September 1994 by the VAT office.
A number of conditions have to be fulfilled, of which the following is a brief
summary.
a) The student must be in full time education at a Local Education Authority
School.
b) The student must be receiving instrumental tuition from a county employed
instrumental teacher as part of the school curriculum.
c) The instrument must be portable.
d) The instrument must be appropriate for the pupil's needs.
e) The instrument must be handed to the pupil in a designated teaching room.
f) The instrument must be charged to the pupil at, or below, the cost to the
school or LEA (excluding VAT).
Have a look at the ex VAT prices of our instruments and see how you can save
even more than our already low prices.
Kind Regards and Thanks.
