PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Energy: VAT (10 December 2020)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will remove VAT on energy efficient measures retro-fitted to older homes; and what assessment he has made of the effect of leaving the EU on the UK's ability to undertake that removal.

Asked by:
Esther McVey (Conservative)

Applying VAT relief to the retrofitting of residential buildings would come at a significant cost to the Exchequer.

The Government keeps all taxes under review and assesses them against a range of fiscal and environmental considerations. Any future decisions on VAT will continue to be taken in line with the normal Budget process.
