Prima măsură majoră anunțată de noul premier britanic: TVA-ul la electricitate va fi eliminat

The new UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, announced the elimination of VAT on electricity bills to alleviate living costs. This measure, effective from October 1, aims to save an average household €53 annually and will cost the government €1 billion, funded by scrapping a digital ID project. Economists have suggested a wealth tax on the richest households to generate an additional £10 billion per year. Former Economy Minister Claudiu Năsui praised Burnham's decision, noting it aligns with VAT reductions in other European countries.
