Andy Burnham to Cut VAT on Electricity Bills as First Cost of Living Move Andy Burnham's new prime ministerial administration has made its first significant policy move with an announcement to reduce Value Added Tax (VAT) on electricity bills.
The tax cut is expected to lower the average annual bill by £45 from October, a measure aimed at alleviating cost of living pressures for households in Britain.
Burnham's decision to axe the digital ID scheme, which was projected to save £1. 8 billion over three years, has raised questions about funding for this new policy initiative.
