Would just like to add that any parking tickets that you would get from a parking meter in the street that are charged by councils are Exempt for VAT. But any private car parks, such as Carol mentioned NCP Parking, you would need to check the ticket for a VAT Number.

Is there VAT on parking fees?

On-street parking is a local authority monopoly, and is regarded as a non-business activity, so that no VAT is due.

Are parking charges VAT exempt?

On-street parking is operated by the Local Authority and is covered by statute. Because of this there is no VAT on on-street parking charges. Off-street parking is probably liable to VAT.
