It appears that Mountain Rescue Teams have won the argument, in principle, that they should be able to reclaim VAT payments. Although it is against EU law to directly refund VAT, it seems the government has found a way round the problem by putting money aside to help with the teams' costs. Good news.
The MRTs provide a vital service and although the idea of self-reliance should never be forgotten, none of us knows when we might need their help.
