VAT charge at nursing homes
There was suddenly a news saying vat will be charged from patients and doctors in nursing homes. Some nursing homes started charging immediately and others started late. Then there was another news item saying it will not be charged from the first of this month. Some nursing homes stopped altogether but some are still charging form doctors’ fees. When inquired they say they have not received the circular. How come other nursing homes have received it? And when they do receive it, will they refund it to the doctors and patients? How would they do it?
As usual in our country there are always mishaps due to the red tape and it is the common man who suffers, silently.
