Rejected petition Do not increase VAT on solar panels.

A consultation launched by HMRC, which closed late last week, has proposed an increase in the VAT attached to these energy saving materials from 5% to 20%, essentially eliminating a discount that had been applied to those products. This is not an action compatible with a climate emergency.
