Closed Reduce rate of VAT to 15%

Closed on

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, increased VAT from 17.5% to 20%.

We call on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to think again. His policies are holding back economic growth, hampering businesses and putting jobs at risk.

In order to stimulate growth in the economy and restore business confidence we ask for a debate on the reduction in the level of VAT down to 15% for the good of the nation.
