This guidance note provides an overview of several important issues associated with VAT grouping, including an anti-avoidance reverse charge for services bought in from overseas VAT group members and HMRC’s ‘protection of the revenue’ powers.

For details of partial exemption, see the Partial exemption ― overview guidance note. This also means that the partial exemption de minimis limits apply on a VAT group-wide basis (and not to individual members).
