Labor promise to raise VAT to

Is that true?

95% likely

corporation tax up to 23% to stifle business's, VAT to 25% to stop people buying stuff, true socialism in action.
Issue Gov bonds in place of shares, bonds will be worth zilch after 5yrs of a Labour Gov.

Standard From CorBIN ...

20% is hefty enough for some basic treats and stuff eg choc biscuits and toilet rolls. It's just an additional tax on top of one's taxed earnings. I'd rather Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum reduce vat on these items than give free broadband to all.

Is it true. No.

Actually that rate seems conservative
Probably 30%

To accomodate their BIG BUCKET
list

No way do they raise VAT, it's completely against the dogma.
VAT is generally seen as a tax on the people rather than the villans of the drama (big corp and successful individuals)

I've been left of centre for a long time but General Corbyn is doing nothing but turn me away from this stupidity.
Giving stuff away with both hands like a condemned man his spending just looks hilarious and there is no way you can target the ones he wants and get the tax he expects without making a right bol lox of the who free market.

I just dont get it. FTTP to farms and garden centres ffs?
Nothing is free in this world, we are whre we are but this isn't the answer.

In the 2010 budget, described by PM David Cameron as an "emergency budget", Chancellor George
Osborne announced that the standard rate of VAT would increase from 17.5% to 20% with effect from 4 January 2011

vat....a tory tax....started at 10%

reduced by labour to 8%

increased by tories to 15%

increased by tories to 17.5%

VAT is and EU tax 

glad to have helped

an eu

vat replaced purchase tax, another tory tax

other taxes tories have brought in inclue poll tax and council tax

No way would a marxist government raise a regressive tax such as vat that would hurt poorer households most

----you-have-to-laugh---
reduced by labour to 8%

Correct Donny. This along with their other policies left the country potless.

vat is an eu tax

pleased it will be abolished when we brexit.

amazed nobody has pointed that out before

probably because no one is stupid enough to even think it could be abolished....how will the government replace the £132 billion it rakes in ?

Call it PURCHASE tax!!!

Lower VAT will increase tourism, boost sterling,and create employment.

VAT should be replaced with FAT.

Tax overweight people on a proportionate scale basis until they’re a slim again. It would be a win-win-win for everyone. Loads of money would be raised, fat folks would get healthy and lead much happier lives, and the NHS would be saved billions.
