Re: EU ups the VAT on energy saving measures
Excuse me.
The topic has nothing to do with the last two pages of RUBBISH posted
It is the placing of different % of VAT on certain things.
Put in Double glazing to save on heating bills VAT at 20%
Install Loft lagging VAT at 20%
Installing C/H on existing homes(New builds no Vat charged)Other homes VAT at 20%
We do not have VAT charged as in some other EU countries of Papers and Childs Clothing.
We did not have a VAT charge on are Heating cost before a Labour Govenment imposed it at the top rate at the time of10%(I think)
Thatcher tried to remove it but because of UE law VAT was still imposed but was set at 5%.
Because of EU law anything that was giving a VAT rate can never be reduced to Zero.
