UK VAT going through the roof

Postby Z4 » Tue May 18, 2010 4:31 pm

Talks about VAT being 20-25% over here. What's your opinion on this?

With the impending cut backs the UK is going to be a tough place to live. The cost of living will rocket, food, petrol, clothing will all increase. Don't the UK Government appreciate that the majority of people are only just about keeping afloat and any more price increases may send them down.

The debts have to be paid but I'm not sure increasing VAT is the answer here.

Coming to Cyprus will soon be compared 'cheap' for us Brits :lol:

In the press on Sunday. The People and Daily Mail.

It's also been mentioned on Sky News. Nothing is confirmed yet (and that means what the rate will be ) but there will be one though

Cyprus holiday home contractors are back in business since the alleged increase of VAT sounds like music to their ears... so much for the bubble bursting scenarios...

Reputable papers, so it must be true!

You now have to pay for your sins of putting in a Labour Government for so long,

You are right. The UK is now paying for Labour and their phucks up over the last 13 years or so. A right mess if you ask me
