Noul guvern britanic anunţă eliminarea TVA la consumul de electricitate al gospodăriilor în iarna viitoare

The UK government announced the removal of VAT on electricity for households starting this winter, a measure by new Prime Minister Andy Burnham to support purchasing power. This initiative, effective from October 1, is expected to reduce average household bills by £45 annually, costing the state £850 million this year. The funding will come from scrapping a controversial digital ID project aimed at combating illegal immigration, which faced public opposition. The government estimates that this decision will save £1.8 billion.
