VAT Refund Scheme for Museums & Galleries Applications Extended 

Relevant to some of our members, the deadline for applications for the VAT Refund scheme for museums & galleries has been extended. The deadline is now Wednesday 1 March 2023. 

The Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) has just published new guidance on applying for the scheme, which can be found here. DCMS has also provided clarity on the eligibility of museums that operate with seasonal hours, with the scheme now extended to include applications from museums which are open seasonally.  

DCMS has advised that any enquires about the scheme can be made to vat33a@dcms.gov.uk.
