Electricity VAT Cut Starts October | Leeds News

from Leeds News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Starting October 1st, the UK government is slashing the VAT on household electricity from 5% to 0%, saving the average home around $45 a year—though gas users on dual plans still pay the full tax. The relief is limited to England, Scotland, and Wales, and applies only to electricity usage, with savings varying based on consumption. Energy bills should auto-adjust, but check your statement. Funding is confirmed for this year, with future extensions pending the next Budget. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
