Domestic Fuel and Power: VAT Rate (Hansard, 15 February 1995)

HL Deb 15 February 1995 vol 561 c42WA 42WA

§ Lord Kennet
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether, as stated by the Minister on January 31st (col. 1410), domestic heating is the only thing on which VAT is "reduced".

§ Lord Henley
The 8 per cent. reduced rate of VAT is unique and applies exclusively to supplies of domestic fuel and power. The Government have no plans to apply this reduced rate to anything other than domestic fuel and power.
