作为劳工局生活成本计划的一部分,英国可能降低5%的能源账单增值税,每年节约家庭110英镑。 The UK may drop 5% VAT on energy bills, saving households up to £110 yearly, as part of Labour’s cost-of-living plan.

据能源部长Ed Miliband表示, 英国政府可在11月预算前取消5%的能源法案增值税, The UK government may eliminate the 5% VAT on energy bills ahead of the November Budget, potentially saving households £86 annually, according to Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. 这一举措是更广泛的生活费努力的一部分,根据拟议的税收转移办法,每年可节省高达110英镑的低收入家庭,尽管其费用将达25亿英镑。 The move, part of broader cost-of-living efforts, could save low-income families up to £110 yearly under a proposed tax shift, though it would cost £2.5 billion. 虽然还没有确认任何决定,但该计划正在审议之中,因为财政拮据,并面临履行劳工局关于到2030年将能源开支削减300英镑的承诺的压力。 While no decision has been confirmed, the plan is under consideration amid fiscal constraints and pressure to fulfill Labour’s pledge to cut energy bills by £300 by 2030.
