Cancel the next VAT bill to keep businesses going.
Cancel the next VAT bill for businesses to allow a few more months of cash flow
If the Chancellor were to cancel the VAT bill that would allow businesses a month or two breathing space to keep going through the closures and slow downs over next few months. This would mean that the economy would benefit by being able to bounce back quicker when the situation resolves and would also mean less likelihood of job losses.
