For most day to day stuff there'll be hardly any difference.  On a £100 shop at Tesco's the most difference it'll make is £2.50

Why not a shuffle of income taxe, perhaps raise the amount you earn before your taxed and may be slapping a 50% tax rate on everything earnt over say £250,000 in a year?

I don't think that food is subject to VAT, ( could be wrong though ) so very little difference.

Iwas being very vague and assuming the person was spending £100 on Digestives and Jelly Tots.

My main point was that if everything you bought had VAT, you would save £2.50.

For most people you will probable save more like £1, maybe £1.50?

Yes, I am going to save so much money that from Monday I will be on a spend spend spend.........................NOT, will make no difference to our spending which has been restricted recently as a result of high prices anyway.

Interesting comment on question time, would it not have been better to just remove VAT from gas and electric rather than a 2.5% overall, I think that would have been a good move....
