Rejected petition Drop the VAT hike on the sale of static caravans

More details

Calls on the government to drop their proposal to apply standard rate VAT (20 per cent) to static caravans. The government’s impact assessment states that these changes could lead to a 30% drop in sales. If introduced it will have a disastrous impact on the industry making hundreds of skilled workers redundant.
