How the Assisted Instrument Scheme Works

The Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme was initiated by Customs & Excise to help an under-funded industry and to encourage more children to play and parents to pay! Woodwind & Brass Ltd promotes AIPS, which allows children to purchase instruments at the VAT free price.

The scheme works by selling instruments to the school/LEA at the including VAT price, and then allowing them to recover the VAT. This means they can sell the instrument to the student at the excluding VAT price.

Before you can take advantage of this scheme, you need to find out whether or not your Local Education Authority (LEA) or school run the scheme.

If they do you need to contact us either by phone (023 9235 2227) or email sales@woodwindandbrass.co.uk and tell us which instrument you wish to purchase.

We will give you the VAT free cost of the instrument and the price of postage and packing. The school cannot recover VAT on postage and packing, so you may have to pay this on top of the ex VAT price. If you live within our catchment area (25 mile radius around Fareham - mainland only - this includes Winchester, Southampton, Fareham, Chichester or Portsmouth) delivery is free.

Below is the AIPS Form with Customs & Excise Transaction Terms. Once you have contacted us, print out a copy, (or we'll send you one) complete it using the information provided, and give a copy to the school or LEA.

Using this completed form, all the bursar/finance administrator has to do is send or fax (023 9235 7464) it to us with a purchase order for the net amount. We can then despatch the instrument.

It may be helpful for the Head Teacher/Bursar to keep a copy of the form as a record required by the VAT Office.
