As prices rise, VAT increases the burden on households. This should be reduced to 0% until prices stabilise.","additional_details":"Households are struggling with rising energy and fuel costs. As VAT is applied as a percentage, higher prices increase the tax burden automatically. Energy and fuel are essential, not optional. A temporary VAT cut would provide immediate relief, reduce pressure on living costs and support economic stability during this crisis.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2026-04-18T10:55:46.932Z","updated_at":"2026-05-18T12:52:26.583Z","rejected_at":"2026-05-18T12:52:17.678Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-04-18T13:27:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for the same action:\r\n\r\nSuspend fuel duty and VAT on fuel until the Iran conflict ends \r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/763674"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
