The Value Added Tax (Reduced Rate) (Energy-Saving Materials) Order 2019 — 25 Jun 2019 at 14:39
The majority of MPs voted to exclude wind and water turbines from a special reduced rate of VAT applying to the supply and installation of energy-saving materials in residential accommodation.
The motion supported by a majority of MPs in this vote was:
- That the Value Added Tax (Reduced Rate) (Energy-Saving Materials) Order 2019 (S.I., 2019, No. 958), dated 21 May 2019, a copy of which was laid before this House on 21 May, be approved.
