How about they leave VAT alone, and ruduce income tax abit, or raise the threshold levels a good amount more
might make me do some overtime if i aint being taxed 40 fucking % !!!!!!!!
They want to encourage spending, not increase individual wealth at the expense of goverment coffers.
Its a subtle difference, but a very important one.
The last thing they want is anyone doing overtime though, they would sooner you dont do it and some unemployed person gets given a job doing it instead
