uin	127865
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2023 answer text <p>The VAT reduced rate for the hospitality sector was a temporary measure designed to support the cash flow and viability of sectors that have been severely affected by COVID-19. It was appropriate that as restrictions were lifted and demand for goods and services in these sectors increased, the temporary tax reliefs were first reduced and then removed in order to rebuild and strengthen the public finances.</p><p> </p><p>According to OBR forecasts, VAT will have raised approximately £157 billion in 2022/23, helping to fund key spending priorities such as important public services, including the NHS and policing. In addition, this request should be viewed in the context of over £50 billion of requests for relief from VAT received since the EU referendum.</p><p> </p><p>While there are no plans to reduce the rate of VAT on food and beverages sold in pubs, the Government keeps all taxes under review.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 25/01/2023 16:56:53 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

tabling member constituency	Bath
tabling member printed	Wera Hobhouse
uin	126758
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2023 answer text <p>In order to keep costs down for families, the supply of electricity for domestic use, including charging an electric vehicle (EV) at home, attracts the reduced rate of VAT (five per cent). However, electricity supplied at EV charging points in public places is subject to the standard rate of VAT (twenty per cent).</p><p> </p><p>The Government has not specifically introduced a reduced rate for charging EVs at home. However, the practical challenges of differentiating between the electricity used at home for general domestic purposes, and electricity used to charge EVs currently mean that the reduced rate is effectively being applied to EV charging at home.</p><p> </p><p>Introducing a VAT relief for public EV charging to match the VAT treatment of domestic fuel and power would impose additional pressure on the public finances, to which VAT makes a significant contribution. VAT is the UK’s third largest tax forecast to raise £157 billion in 2022/23, helping to fund key spending priorities such as important public services, including the NHS, education and defence.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to supporting the transition to zero emission vehicles to help the UK meet its net zero obligations. The Government has committed £2.5 billion since 2020 to support the transition to zero emission vehicles, which funds targeted vehicle incentives and the rollout of charging infrastructure.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 25/01/2023 16:51:51 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
