Think next year is gonna be tight, V.A.T back to 17.5%, probably going to 20% after election(the 15% rate has hid alot of price rises). Regardless of who gets in the public sector is gonna get an axe to it(rightly so), more unemployed. Just wanna hear your thoughts.

My fear is the current scum know there on to a hiding so are gonna make it worse for the tories. We've only got our triple aaa rating still because the business world sees the tories getting in, I aint so sure, the change wrought is huge, so many people think they should have something for nothing, the real world to alot of people is welfare and x-factor

If you go into renewables, you only have to charge a domestic end user 5% on installations. Thats solar, rainwater harvesting, heat pumps.

You cannot supply only at 5%, you must supply and fit, and it must be into a dwelling.

That goes some way to convincing the domestic customers who of course cannot claim the vat back.
