Burnham’s VAT Cut on Electricity | UK News
Description
Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s first major cost-of-living move slashes VAT on electricity bills starting October, saving households an average £45 a year—funded by scrapping the digital ID program. While Chancellor John Healey backs the plan as vital winter relief and a push toward electric heat pumps, former minister Darren Jones questions the funding logic since the ID project wasn’t yet funded. The policy is part of a wider push to de-privatize utilities and tackle homelessness, with Northern Ireland getting equivalent support despite different rules.
