VAT On Commemorative Headstones (EDM138)

VAT On Commemorative Headstones

EDM number 138 in 2004-05, proposed by Mike Hancock on 23/11/2004.

That this House condemns the Government's decision not to exempt commemorative headstones for graves from VAT, in contrast to all other services provided by an undertaker in connection with a burial or cremation; believes this to be a decision which takes advantage of people at their lowest time; and urges the Government to reconsider and lighten the heavy financial burden placed on people at a vulnerable time.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
