Remove 5% VAT on standing charges for household energy bills

Petition Details

Zero VAT on standing charges for household energy bills. Household energy is an essential, NOT a luxury. Standing charges imposed on household energy bills are NOT a luxury. Therefore, there should be NO 5% VAT on standing charges for household energy.

Additional Information

Standing charges imposed on households, by private energy companies, push some households into poverty. This can have an adverse impact on health and relationships. To help prevent this harm against people who cannot meet the ever increasing costs, we want the Government to abolish the 5% rate of VAT on household energy bills.
