Update February 2025:

Hello everyone, I sent the robust response to Gladstone's back in November 2023 and only received a response last month. They have also issued another letter before claim dated January 2025 to my address. Should I respond to this new LBC and should it be different to my first response.

Thanks

Gladstones said:
VAT is not applicable as the Parking Charge Notice which was issued to you is a contractual charge.
Wow!!
Does that mean that, for example, if I have a new bathroom fitted, I can agree the contractor's price for the job and avoid paying VAT?
It must be true... a prominent firm of solicitors says so.
[A rhetorical question really. I know the answer. ]

Report them to HMRC for VAT concerns (search the forum. It's been done all last year umpteen zillion times). Copy that. Easy online complaint.

PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

British Airways passenger? Book and travel using your old Covid vouchers NOW – or lose them
If you had a British Airways (BA) flight or holiday disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, check if you've got an old voucher as millions of pounds' worth are still unclaimed. You'll need to use it to travel before the end of September 2025 – or risk losing it. Below we explain how to search for unused vouchers and how to use them.
