Surely not, you are not trying to tell me that Boris and his apologists would lie to us, I am deeply shocked by your suggestion
I now follow New York Times and Irish Post which give a rather different perspective to UK press.
EU rules on vat are pretty strict, countries have only certain things they can do, easiest way for people to save money on fuel is to put more clothes on like we did as kids, some energy companies did suggest that here and had to apologise as it upset people. f**king worlds gone mad.
Nicely ignoring the fact that Boris lied. Quelle surprise.
The uk has a reduced rate of vat on domestic fuel, however without trawling through the whole directive which applies to poland I'm not sure they can reduce it to zero, the rules are very complicated and while I did read a precise some time ago cant remember too many details, however the basic rules are standard rate cant be less than 15% reduced rate not less than 5 and a few things can be zero rated.
because that would make us short of VAT as well as everything else according to you.
Because the savings by taking vat off aren't targeting the people most affected by fuel price increases
Vat 5% here as well.On household energy.
Poland -Zero rate on household fuel, energy, food etc. From first February
Are you planning to move to Poland?
Poland are in the EU. Bojo and his mates said the UK could not reduce the Vat on domestic energy while a member of the EU.
What about the 4 or 5 other taxes on your leccy bill
Why doesn`t Macron reduce VAT on domestic energy to 0%?
He gave people on low incomes an extra €100 towards the bills. On top of the annual means tested cheque de energie that pensioners and low incomes get .
Because the french government control energy prices as they own its production 80% nuclear electric and is currently running on gas stored since last summer bought at lower prices, It is called "energy security" bit like "food security"
Changing the subject only slightly but still on topic, were you aware that there is a shortage of clowns in NI as they have all migrated to the EU ?
