Review and reform VAT for registered mental health service providers

Petition Details

We want the UK government to:

Extend VAT exemption to all registered mental health service providers, including counsellors and psychotherapists.

Conduct a comprehensive review of the impact of VAT on access to mental health services.

Additional Information

We call for VAT exemption for all registered mental health service providers, including all counsellors and psychotherapists, akin to VAT exemptions for clinical psychologists, to improve mental health access. Evidence shows these services can help reduce healthcare costs by offering effective treatment for anxiety and depression, aiding early intervention. This policy could lessen the £100 billion annual economic impact of mental health issues in the UK, promoting a more inclusive and equitable healthcare model.
