General VAT Information:

​

VAT charges for clothing are based on the size of the garments using information supplied by gov.uk.  Note that this relates to the actual measurement and not the “to fit” sizes as sold.  For example, VAT may be charged on a 34” jacket but not on a 34” t-shirt as a jackets actual measurement would be bigger.

​

VAT is only exempt for school uniform if the item has a school logo and is for schools catering solely for pupils under 14.

​

Items such as bags and hair accessories will always incur VAT as these are not classed as clothing (whether they have the school logo or not).​
