It removes a distortion of competition which unfairly favours businesses that locate to a Member State with a lower rate of VAT than the UK. It therefore creates a level playing field for all UK businesses and helps protect UK revenue. We are keen to do everything we possibly can to support the smallest businesses.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke grouped question UIN 221286 question first answered 22/01/2015 17:40:30 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
