"I'm a finance administrator, and my manager was saying today she thinks VAT will be reduced to 15% as it was when the financial crisis hit in 2008. Anyone have any thoughts /opinions on this " It's about time it came back from 20% and it's a European Union TAX anyway. Drop it completely I say. Give people more spending power and it's its own form of Economic Easing. Either that or go Modern and just Print more money. | |||

"The way forward is yet another lurch to the left with introduction of financial transaction tax on the city and complete crackdown on large multinational corporations like Amazon, Apple and Google. FTT once recovery underway willLead to massive income to the treasury,it may even be used instead of VAT as a sales tax on every item." Yet another lurch to the left? | |||

"This current crop of corruption fuelled selfservatives have been drifting to the left ever since covid19 started. Check labour manifesto see how many policies have been robbed, such as laptops for poorest along with WI-FI " Manifestos are out the window and are irrevilent due to this unforseen crisis.This is not a time to come up with petty party points | |||

The EU does not allow any member state to reduce there vat below 15 percent. The 5 percent vat you pay on your fuel bills is also forbidden to be reduced by the EU rules. While still in transition we have to stick to the rules. After that its up to the government of the day/ details in possible trade arrangement | |||

"I'm a finance administrator, and my manager was saying today she thinks VAT will be reduced to 15% as it was when the financial crisis hit in 2008. Anyone have any thoughts /opinions on this VAT was @ 17.5% before it went up to 20%" It was, it then got lowered because of the credit crunch then put upto 20% to claw back what they lost from lowering it. Funny that it didn't get lowered back to 17.5%. | |||

Before being put back to 20% to start to recoup the massive defect we're in. | |||

"I think it should stay the present 20% for online sales. But if there is going to be a reduction to say 10% ...I think it should be on the high street to give it a much needed boost." Excellent idea | |||

"I can see a 3 to 6 month VAT reduction for certain sectors, such as hospitality. Gives an immediate price cut to kickstart the economy. Rishi Sunak is making announcements next week. " That does seem likely though room for manoeuvre is restricted by the EU for the time being unless they change the rules | |||

"and . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_Theory " Mmt is cute intellectual theory but let's be real... Economist dont run economies they write about them. Powell has already committed to bending over to any order from trump and making the money printer go brrrrrr. And he literally confirmed the fed will QE any amount of money required to get out of the pandemic. They are not just saying banks are to big to fail this time...its the whole stock market. That's doesn't make mmmt any less interesting as a theory though. | |||

Only if you're over the threshold and are VAT registered would your services be charged with VAT on top...

What I'm trying to say is all goods, clothes, furniture,food whatever the vat will be included in the price there's no way of avoiding it. | |||

We falls under alot of theories I suppose this all depends how far you pull into which theory...I think you would agree most economists are more rational than most and as a result usually more non partisan when it comes to theory or at least far right and left views on it. I dont discount your opinion or the theory. Maly comments where more in line of the...there is no economic theory being observed. It's all wing it and see what happens. Trumps analysis of an economy seems to be stock market up...all good. I refer you the renowned economist...mr James brown and funky president. Stock market going up Jobs going down And ain't no funking Jobs to be found Taxes keep going up I changed from a glass Now I drink out of a paper cup It's getting bad Seems to be as good analysis as your gonna get from the fed hahaha | |||
