Burnham to remove VAT from household electricity bills that seems great!

[ericmark]

I'm stuck with reality, as I have no imagination.

Your days are numbered. "I or J" caught me out. A simple omission on a question paper, it forgot to ask for real answers. One question with a quadratic equation took me ages, and all I needed to put was no real answer.

Before they could use their batteries", they'd have to buy them, but wouldn't it probably take 30 years or so of saving up the £45/y VAT removal to do that?

The V2G EV charging point is likely to become the norm. And to not have static batteries with solar panels, you're losing a lot or the advantage of having solar panels.

I look local to me, and the take-up is poor but look at our old house, and a very different story, at least a ¼ of the homes have solar.

And it did cause problems, at first over voltage, then clearly there were complaints, and then the voltage dropped to a point where my 65 watt fluorescent failed.

As to the high school they do seem to have gone OTT.

Clearly we have no idea if there are batteries as well, but once one hits 6 panels, it would be daft not to.

But those without batteries are basic using the grid as a battery, so even more export and import.

The important point, is solar panels, batteries, EV, heat pumps and the like, we are looking at years payback time, so a change today needs to remain in place for years, no good chopping and changing.

Too much personal info eric.

But does the cut apply to businesses?

Businesses claim it back anyway.

He's certainly posted his callsign before now, which is as good as an address!

they do, but isn't the 5% VAT specific to domestic fuel, anyway?

Not the slightest idea what this refers too?
Was it meant for someone else ?

Yes, and continues to, which no one needs to know.

Yes. Though that doesn't alter the question or the answer.

He has stated that he doesn't care.

No? The original question was:

But does the cut apply to businesses?

... but what (all) that has been announced is that the 5% VAT on domestic electricity (but seemingly not gas) will be reduced to zero in October. No mention about a change in any other VAT rate.

As you pointed out, the question is pretty irrelevant, since businesses will reclaim the VAT, anyway, but what (all) has been announced surely does "answer the question", doesn't it?

So why are you arguing with me? Take it up with Murdochcat, if you're that excited about it.

Eh? From where I'm standing, it seemed like it was you who was 'arguing' about what I thought was an answer to Murdo's question
