VAT ON TABLOID NEWSPAPERS

Early day motion 46, tabled 8 May 2013 by George Galloway (Respect). Signed by 1 member.

That this House urges the Government to impose VAT on daily and Sunday tabloid newspapers which are principally in the entertainment industry rather than the news business; and believes that such a measure could bring in an estimated revenue of £3 billion a year to HM Treasury which could be used for house-building and infrastructural measures to stimulate the economy.
