answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2024 answer text <p>VAT is a broad-based tax on consumption, and the 20 per cent standard rate applies to most goods and services. It is the UK’s second largest tax, forecast to raise £176 billion in 2024/25. Tax breaks reduce the revenue available for public services, and must represent value for money for the taxpayer.</p><p> </p><p>One of the key considerations when assessing any potential new VAT relief is whether the cost saving is likely to be passed on to consumers. Evidence suggests that businesses only partially pass on any savings from lower VAT rates. In some cases, therefore, reliefs do not represent the best value for money, as there is no guarantee that savings would be passed on to consumers, and therefore no guarantee that it would make certain products more accessible to the public.</p><p></p> answering member constituency Ealing North answering member printed James Murray question first answered 14/10/2024 15:32:08 answering member 4797 label Biography information for James Murray
