Sandwell's Death Tax II, The VAT Rebate Refusal







For years it seems Sandwell charged bereaved families VAT for headstone work for cremated remains then Sandwell found out some VAT should not have been charged ? 
A number of people assumed they would get some over payment money back!

Got the picture ???
 

But Sandwell Labour said We are keeping the VAT rebate money (£1M)



That £1Million over paid by loved ones, usually pensioners who have lost partners. 

The excuse Labour used in the press is

“In many cases the level of VAT amounts to only £10 and its impractical to trace people to pay them back"



Hold on a minute ?



Sandwell used to write to Crematorium memorial owners every 10 years or so and ask them for more money for the next 10 years rent and a clean up of the memorial, or it says it will remove the name stone 
and plaques.


So here are a few questions that need answering 


If Sandwell knows were people live when it wants money for a Crematorium headstone clean and the next 10 years rent.  when it comes to paying people back, why is it a very difficult task ?



How did Sandwell Value its VAT refund at £1M ? 


Did it have a good guess or have a list of the transactions ?





Sandwell Tory Said

Labour loves your money, my last post asked



Are Sandwell Labour coming for your death & divi club money?



Now I ask

Have Sandwell Labour found a way to Tax you years after your dead ?






 For overseas readers VAT = Value Added Tax , similar to a purchase Tax
