Dave Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,1778_4583853,00.html VAT boost for season ticket holders Manchester United's 57,000 season ticket holders will benefit from the Government decision to reduce VAT to 15% United had already pledged to pass on any reduction to supporters following the cut in duty from 17.5%. The saving applied immediately to tickets purchased on a match-by-match basis but the Red Devils were experiencing some difficulty in getting HM Revenue & Customs to outline what approach to take with supporters who purchased season tickets at the full VAT rate. That position has now been clarified, with United cleared to hand back the appropriate percentage of each season ticket on the basis of only six of their 19 Premier League home games taking place before the December 1 deadline. While the actual saving would only be approximately 80p on a £40 ticket, the overall money being paid back will be well in excess of £500,000. United have already been forced to reprint a number of tickets for forthcoming games, including tonight's Carling Cup tie with Blackburn, to take into account the change in prices. Chances of us doing this? It'll be worth it on three years' worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Besides it would only be one year as that is the duration of the reduced VAT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The sad thing is that the bloody government have to force ticket prices lower....but only because they have to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Besides it would only be one year as that is the duration of the reduced VAT. It's due to go back up on January 1st 2010. Wouldn't we be due to the money back for that period? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
