VAT reform threatens jobs of charity staff - Telegraph: "The Treasury has 'grossly underestimated' the cost of imposing VAT on the wages of temporary social care and charity workers, locum doctors and financial services staff and if it pushes ahead it will lead to significant job losses, the recruitment industry has warned.
The measure, announced by Alistair Darling in March, will withdraw a concession granted in 1998 to agencies supplying temporary staff in industries that are zero-rated for VAT. It will force agencies to charge VAT to their customers, including NHS Trusts and charities, which they cannot reclaim."
