Proceeding contribution from Rachel Reeves (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 March 2012. It occurred during Budget debate on Amendment of the Law.
Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation
I agree. These are hard times for the charitable sector, and the VAT increase has hit it hard. That is one of the many reasons why charities, as well as ordinary families and businesses, would benefit from a reduction in VAT back down to 17.5% until the economy recovers. Charities are also affected by changes in tax allowances, and many have expressed fears that that will also create a big black hole.
