Sensible tax proposals for a happier Dizzy

Proposal: Scrap VAT on all electrical and computing goods
Reason: I want cheap electrical and computing goods.
Impact: I will have lots of new toys.

Note to Ed Balls - this is not an official Conservative Party policy

Hat Tip: Croydonian for Ed Balls gag

No chance, you will be paying more taxes soon towards the mandarty recycling of electrical goods, something else Blair has cocked up.

Dizzy

How about affecting change from the inside, came across this earlier.

London - Westminster

This is an exciting time to join the new joint Parliamentary Information and Communications Technology Service (PICT), which has recently been established to provide Members and staff of the two Houses of Parliament with a unified ICT Service.

Apparently this was set up in January but they are still recruiting for up to fifty positions.

Actually Dizzy's tax policies will lead to more expensive computers and electrical goods. If VAT is no longer levied on the sale of these goods, then the manufacturers won't be able to recover the VAT on their inputs. They will then recover these from the consumer instead via higher prices.

Sorry!

VAT is an EU Tax (see the 6th VAT Directive) and you cannot do this without leaving the EU.

Now THAT would be sensible.

Nonsense, you don't have to leave. You could just revoke it and then ignore the Commission and calls for fines like France and Germany do all the time.
