answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2022 answer text <p>The Government maintains a reduced rate of VAT of 5 per cent on the installation of many Energy Saving Materials, such as ground source and air source heat pumps, subject to certain conditions.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps all taxes under review, but going further would impose significant additional pressure on the public finances, to which VAT makes a significant contribution. VAT raised around £130 billion in 2019-20 and helps to fund key spending priorities. Any reduction in tax paid is a reduction in the money available to support important public services, including the NHS and policing.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has published the Heat and Building Strategy, which sets out our vision for a sustainable and affordable transition to a low carbon heating sector. The Strategy sets out proposals that will create a long-term, stable, regulatory framework across all types of buildings, while targeting funding to support early adopters and the vulnerable.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 03/02/2022 17:45:01 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
