We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Remove VAT on air pilot training
The Government should exempt pilot training from VAT like other forms of vocational training.
More details
Normally, training courses are zero-rated for VAT. However, VAT is charged on pilots training, which can be one of the most expensive forms of education. This is highly unfair to the students especially as they do not have jobs so many struggle to pay it in the first place. By removing the vat, it allows for cheaper training for the students.
