As a small business owner charging 20% tax on top of my price to customers that are already struggling is a joke. And to then have to hand it over every quarter minus the pittance we claim back to a government that throws it at illegal immigrants is sickening

[@macduff1964a]

Same here simon, have written several letters to my MP on this and other matters pertaining to the Labour govt policies (he’s labour too) and receive off hand vanilla replies. Bloody infuriating 😤

[@dizwell]

Way to conflate entirely different issues! But good on you for pointing out that you can claim back the VAT you are charged by suppliers. Thus, the 20% you charge your customers is only on the component of the price that you have added yourself (and it therefore isn't a compounding tax). If you regard your inputs as a pittance whilst the 20% you charge isn't, you must be adding _a lot_ of value by what you do. Good on you for that.

[@rogerbroadbelt3424]

Value Added Tax used to be a tax for better value. If we buy food at Greggs to eat in, we pay VAT, if we take it out, VAT isn't charged. When I had my printing business, VAT was charged on different products at different rates. If I printed invoices for customers with any numbers on, they were a different rate to those without numbers. My rates of VAT were zero, 12%, 15%, and 20%. I used to aim for either exempt or full amount, 20%, the others could be complicated and debatable. My customers paperwork couldn't always cope with 12% or 15%. Zero rated wasn't exempt, they hadn't begun charging the lower rate. I used to encourage customers to have VAT exempt or top rate 20%. I could never understand why what I printed added various rates of increased value?

[@pavo45]

Some might call that "legalised robbery"

[@dizwell]

@@rogerbroadbelt3424 Firstly, that sounds highly illegal! There's really only two rates of VAT you're allowed to charge: 20% and 0%. You can't just start inventing your own VAT rates! But secondly, your Greggs example is interesting. When Australia adopted its Goods and Services Tax in 2000 (GST, which is equivalent to VAT), the government really wanted a 10% tax on everything, no exceptions -but to get it through their upper house, they had to agree to exempting basic food (bread, milk and such like). The 'everything at 10%' is a highly efficient model, of course. Making exemptions left, right and centre merely invites discussions as to whether Jaffa Cakes are biscuits (exempt) or cakes (not exempt), or whether tampons should be exempt when condoms are. Anyway, my point is that there are lots of ways to implement VAT. I would personally prefer a much lower rate (say 10%) charged on absolutely everything, with huge social provision made for those for whom an extra 10% on their food bill would be excessive, for example. That would, at a stroke, dispense with Daniel's rather ridiculous argument that criminal law is an essential, so the government provides legal aid (which you might not qualify for), where civil law isn't! All legal services should charge VAT and if you qualifty for legal aid, that should cover the VAT element too. On the matter of education, however: there is ample _public_ provision made for it. The State regards it as an essential and thus provides it as an entirely free service. Just as it does for hip replacements on the NHS. And if it happens that you, personally, don't want to wait 2 years for a free hip replacement, you're entirely allowed to pay huge private fees to obtain one more quickly. Similarly, if you think your local comprehensive is a bit dodgy and full of people you wouldn't want your children mixing with, that's entirely understandable and you're absolutely allowed to pay private fees to opt out of the state provision. In the case of elective and cosmetic health care, you pay VAT. In the case of essential hip replacements, there'd be no VAT, but the private surgeon's fees are going to be such that you won't care about VAT one way or another! Likewise, if you choose to buy your kid a better education than the state can provide, it's entirely logical that you should pay VAT on the transaction. If you didn't think you were buying a better value-add product, you wouldn't be buying it in the first place, would you? And if there's value add, there ought to be VAT.

I agree that Labour always likes to tax and spend, so why anyone is surprised at that, I have no idea. The fact you (and I) don't like _how_ they choose to spend, however, shouldn't blind you to the logic behind taxing private education. Just as Daniel claims Legal Aid provides a VAT-free way of getting legal representation, so state schools provide a VAT-free way of obtaining an education for your child. Want to sue someone for a civil tort... that will incur VAT (but Daniel's OK with that as, apparently, defending your civil rights isn't an "essential"). Entirely logically similar, if you think sending your child to a private school provides a better education than using the local comprehensive, why shouldn't that attract VAT? Like the TV licence fee, this new tax is easily and legally avoidable: you simply have to _not_ use the relevant services to which the tax applies. I don't see that being an unreasonable proposition.

One question that must be asked, does this government or any of its ministers even know what they're doing, or what the long term consequences of their policies will mean in the broader scheme of things. Somehow I don't think so.

[@davidtreeby3909]

no they don't have a clue. everything they want to change is a bigger disaster than the titanic. surely someone in government can do basic maths 🤔. so not only will labour end up with less vat than they thought they would have, labour will also have to pay unemployment to all the teachers that will lose their jobs. see this policy adding the mysterious £22 billion deficit. there are far better ways of raising funds for this mysterious £22 billion. stop all MPs pay raises and cut the amount for expenses. if MPs want a second house then that is paid for by the MP not the public or are we entitled to live in their 2nd homes funded by our taxes.

The money can't be isolated because there is no money. As soon as tax is paid, the money ceases to exist. As soon as the government spends it, it is created.

[@rickjensen2717]

More or less correct. Money is destroyed when debt or tax is paid, and is created when banks lend it to people and businesses.

[@christianhall3034]

@rickjensen2717 lending is one method of increasing money supply, but government spending is more sticky. Once debt is repaid, the money supply returns to previous levels, whereas tax has to be collected to counter government spending.

Banks should print more money.

[@christianhall3034]

@@fionagregory9147 Banks don't have the ability to print new money; only lend it. With long-term loans, this is similar to printing (especially if the debt is underwritten by the government). If banks have the ability to lend more money over longer periods (ie. 95% mortgages for a 40 year period), then house prices rise proportionately. This makes the population homeless, or enslaves them to the banks. In such a situation, they will delay having children until they can afford it; by which point the women are post-menopausal.

I think that one of the most evil (tax) things any government has done to its citizens was to add the VAT to domestic fuel bills - Gas and Electricity.

Personally I wish there was a government that would review ALL the VAT and Taxes that we pay in this country because it is out of control and it ALL needs reviewing.

It’s almost as though they don’t allocate tax taken, to its intended purpose. Like, if they actually spent road fund licence and new car tax on building and maintaining roads. It’s all a con.

[@caparn100]

Generally, all taxes just end up in the Treasury’s coffers. The same applies to National Insurance, there’s no dedicated pot for it to fund pensions or the NHS. It’s all part of the broader system, and what we pay doesn’t directly correlate to specific expenditures.

[@tangerinedream7211]

Vehicle excise duty just goes into the general taxation pool. When the road fund licence came into being, it was directly spent on developing a road network. Not going to happen ever again.

Certain tax streams should be ring fenced though. Then you wouldn’t end up with shortfalls, which conveniently means the state retirement age gets pushed back. Or, the roads are falling to pieces, for example.
