Polling for The Spectator by Redfield and Wilton shows that a majority of the public (51 per cent) would prefer to have a VAT cut to Sunak’s decision to impose a windfall tax on the profits of energy companies. Only 28 per cent backed the Chancellor’s solution with 21 per cent of voters undecided. Some 70 per cent say they would support the Government reducing the standard VAT rate for the duration of the cost-of-living crisis – a measure just 5 per cent oppose. And, unsurprisingly, 66 per cent say they would support scrapping VAT for all consumer goods altogether – compared to 8 per cent who say they would not.
