The VAT treatment on the receipts from resulting payments for the Feed-In-Tariff and for the Export Tariff has been clarified by HMRC.
Selling unused electricity back to the grid (export tariff) is a business activity subject to VAT at 20 per cent. So if a charity is VAT registered it would need to account for output tax, or if not registered would have to count the income towards its taxable turnover for VAT purposes.
