Assisted Purchase Scheme

The Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme is strictly for pupils attending Local Education Authority Schools who receive musical tuition as part of the curriculum.

On the scheme, a student can to purchase an instrument from us without paying the VAT on it. This can lead to quite a good saving on the standard price of the instrument. The scheme was approved by HM Customs and Excise and reviewed in September 1994 by the VAT Office.

The scheme operates nationwide through Schools, Music Centres and Education Authorities.

Here's how the Scheme works:

  1. The Pupil/Parent selects an instrument.
  2. The Parent pays the VAT Free figure to the School
  3. The School places an official order.
  4. The school is invoiced with the full amount inclusive of VAT.
  5. The school claims the VAT back in the usual way.
  6. The pupil collects the instrument from the school.

Rules :

  • There are conditions to abide by in order to take advantage of this scheme.
  • The pupil must be in full-time education at a Local Education Authority School.
  • Pupils must be either receiving tuition at the school as part of their curriculum or receiving private tuition in support of a curricular activity such as GCSE music.
  • The instrument must be appropriate for the pupil's needs.
  • The instrument must be portable
  • The instrument must initially be sent to the school and then passed to the pupil in a designated teaching room
  • The instrument must be charged to the pupils at or below the normal schools cost, exclusive of VAT (i.e. non-profit-making)
