Today's Budget
neg:
VAT is to rise to 20% from 04.01.11
I am suprised they did this, I know there were talks but I didnt expect them to do it. Although a cheap way of trying to get more money easily I suppose - is it likely to ever come back down....

Surprised at no increase on Fuel, Tobacco, and Booze. They also scrapped the cider hike
Good to see they have linked pensions to earnings
Income tax threshold raised by £1k from next year

Dont forget tho that the VAT increase effectively puts fuel up by just over 2p per litre when it comes in anyway. Same for the other items.
