VAT free at UK Brass Hire

A scheme aimed at helping get an instrument in the hands of a young player is being championed by UKBrassHire — and it means that it is VAT free.

Cornet
  There are hundreds of instruments to choose from...

If you are a parent looking to purchase your child a new brass instrument but need to ensure the best value for money, then make sure you contact UKBrassforhire to talk about the Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme.

VAT free

If you hire an instrument from us for a child under 18 in full time education, and decide to buy the instrument at the end of the hire term, you can purchase it VAT free saving 20%.

This means you have the security of knowing your child is 100% happy with the instrument before purchasing and, if that wasn't already enough, we will refund the full 12 months hire on purchase of the instrument!
