The Trouble with the Industry !!

[RSTC]

Point me in the direction of official site .... eg. .gov.uk

As I have been charged VAT

extract from www.revenue.ie Appendix A: VAT Exempt activities :
"children's or young people's education, school or university education, and vocational training
or retraining (including the supply of goods and services incidental thereto , other than
the supply of research services), provided by educational establishments recognised by the
State, and education, training or retraining of a similar kind , excluding instruction in the driving
of mechanically propelled road vehicles other than vehicles designed or constructed for
the conveyance of goods with a capacity of 1.5 tonnes or more, provided by other persons;
"

That's for our side of the pond but I don't think you are any different. Hope that helps
