As you may be aware, HMRC has recently issued an NHS Statement of Practice (SoP) document
regarding Partial Exemption, which outlines that HMRC will no longer accept certain practices from 1st April 2024.

What’s changed?
Our detailed analysis of the SoP can be found here. Broadly speaking, NHS Bodies will need to apply a partial recovery each month in addition to the partial restriction currently undertaken.
For most NHS bodies this means putting additional procedures in place – complying will in turn create additional burdens on already stretched finance teams. In many cases, Trusts simply do not have the expertise in house to comply with the rules and have limited time to upskill their team to be compliant before 1st April 2024.
