Recognising the need to abolish VAT on energy bills

Early day motion 1418, tabled 28 January 2021 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 2 members.

That this House recognises the need to take back control of the UK's taxes following the UK's departure from the EU and abolish VAT on energy bills; notes that cutting VAT on energy bills to zero could save households up to £65 on their energy bills; further notes that during the 2016 EU referendum campaign both the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster stressed that energy bills would be lower after Brexit; and calls on the Government to abolish VAT on energy bills and cut the cost of living for hard-pressed families across the UK.
