Does anyone know difinitively if VAT is charged on Face Masks?

It depends! 

 

If they are classed as PPE then there is a temporary Zero rate to apply https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-zero-rating-for-personal-protective-equipment

but, if they are just classed as face coverings then I believe they are at the normal 20%. 

 

I bought some myself recently and was charged VAT, but a client of mine who works in the facefit testing world has bought many proper PPE ones recently that have all been zero rated.
