answer text

HM Treasury keeps all taxes under review. Existing rules mean that the supply of water to households is zero rated for VAT purposes and where a first-time connection is also provided by the water supplier then it may also be subject to the zero rate of VAT. In addition, there is relief on domestic energy including a reduced rate for household fuel. Under EU law it is not possible to remove VAT on utilities infrastructure.
