Review the VAT tax rate to ease the burden on the British Citizens
We humbly request the goverment to review the taxes we pay, specifically the VAT on food and regular shopping, reduce this to 15% until the economy recovers and inflation comes back under control
By reducing or scrapping VAT on weekly shopping, people will spend more on other things and it will help the economic to grow and prosper. More money to go round and creates more jobs
