tabling member printed	Lord Pendry
uin	HL3394
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2021 answer text In recognition of the fact that families should not have to bear all the VAT costs they incur to meet their energy needs, the Government already maintains a reduced rate of 5 per cent VAT on the supply of domestic energy, at a cost of £5 billion per year.<p> </p>Although the Government keeps all taxes under review, going further would impose additional pressure on the public finances, to which VAT makes a significant contribution. VAT raised around £130 billion in the year 2019/20, and helps to fund key spending priorities, including on health, education, and defence.<p> </p><p>Additional support is provided through the Winter Fuel Payment, which is designed to ensure that households where older people are living can be heated and kept warm during winter months.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 08/11/2021 17:28:20 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
