Rejected petition Reduce VAT from 20% to 15%

More details

In a way to counteract increasing fuel prices, as well as reduce the cost of living, VAT should be dropped from it's current over-inflated price of 20%, to the European base of 15%. This will benefit the economy by allowing lower prices in shops, which in turn will lead to more purchases and a faster growing economy.
