Default VAT increase on paid holiday?

I've just finished paying off my Hoiday at Butlins.

I was informed by Butlins that I would still have to pay the VAT increase.
Can they do this??

They can if it's right.

But whether it is right will depend upon the date of supply/invoice/payment
and you haven't told us what the first two are.

Time of payment is time of supply so they are at it:

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/managing/...tax-points.htm

As payment has been made it seems that these cover it (with or w/o vat
invoice):

"For transactions where a VAT invoice is issued and payment is received
in advance, the time of supply is the date the payment is received or
the date the invoice is issued - whichever is the earlier."

"If the supplier receives full payment before the date when the supply
takes place and no VAT invoice has yet been issued, the time of supply
is the date the payment is received."

Oops.

For some reason I thought that he was referring to a holiday that he had
already taken and the VAT increase that he was referring to was the "rise"
from 15 to 17.5%.

Of course, you don't pay for holidays like that :-(

Silly me!

Just for info - VAT on holidays is covered by the Tour Operators Margin
Scheme. See section 4.14 (time-of-supply) he

Except that it won't apply in this case because the "accommodation" is not
being "re-sold", it is being directly sold by the company that "owns" it.

I see it offers 2 methods of deciding the tax point, number one of which
is completely overridden by Section 4.15 which states without
qualification that the date of large (or complete) payments define the
tax point(s).
