Pharmacies represent one of the most complex sectors from a VAT perspective. The way that pharmacists operate mean there is a myriad of issues to consider, ranging from the way pharmacies receive funding, to the range of liabilities that can apply to standard operating models.

Pharmacies ― how do they operate

Pharmacies will operate either as a community pharmacy or a hospital pharmacy. Hospital pharmacies are based in both NHS and private hospitals, and dispense medication to both in-patients and out-patients, often working alongside doctors and nurses to find the best course of medication for a patient.

Community pharmacies can be found on the high street serving the local community, and usually operate as a retail business alongside the dispensing of medicines.
