A busy week again trying to organise and order all necessaties. Glow star solar panel light ordered and paid for at last after difficulites with not being able to pay on certain cards! Just awaiting safe delivery now and hoping it will fit in luggage!
Problems with ordering Optimal Malaria Test kits still not sorted! After looking at finances we felt we could manage to pay for 1000 kits costing £2,177.28, however on receiving invoice proforma requesting bank transfer we found out they wanted VAT on top of that! This amounted to nearly £400.00 in addition! I tried the sympathy bid but company said they were unable to remove VAT charges by law EXCEPT if we ordered through a Registered Charity and complied with certain conditions!
So I looked at the Charity Commision rules for qualifying as an eligible body for zero rating VAT and found that we did qualify if St Mary's Hospital Isle of Wight Juba Hospital Southern Sudan Charity ordered the Kits. I checked with the other Trustees and all in agreement so have sent a letter to TCS claiming Zero rating on our purchase of Malaria Test Kits because we are using them for Medical purposes and all money used to purchase kits has been donated. We await!
Also creating an album for them of many photos over the last five years since the building of the Health Centre - I hope they like it and enjoy looking back to see all the progress.
Miserable wet, cold and windy Sunday here today - can't believe we spent last Sunday on the boat over in Beaulieu River and I was swimming!!!!
