Reality Check

Reality Check

VAT is a tax paid when things are bought and sold. Lower income households spend a greater share of their income on consumption each month than higher-income households do - the better off are more able to save - which means the less well-off would be expected to spend more of their money on VAT.

That problem is partly dealt with by charging no VAT on most food and drink, for example.

Mr Gove wants to replace VAT with a sales tax, which would make an administrative difference to companies selling things to each other, but would still mean consumers having to pay the same tax when they bought something.

It would not automatically be better for the poorest people unless he lowered the rate, but he could just as well do that to VAT.
