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 from therapy and counselling sessions.

As a Psychotherapist who treats 100's of adults and children, I think it's unfair that there is VAT on such treatments and ask that the Government classify Counselling and Psychotherapy sessions as zero rated. People should not be taxed to improve their mental health.

More details

My colleagues and I, treat clients with depression, anxiety, and more extreme presentations such as suicide ideation. As a limited company my practice can only offer annual treatment up to the VAT limit of £85,000 before needing to add VAT. This does not allow me to grow the business and help as many patients as I can, as adding VAT makes the sessions uncompetitive. The removal of VAT will allow me and others to grow their business and help more patients.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
