Liberal Democrat — Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 June 2025

Debate

VAT Registration Threshold: SMEs

Contribution

I am reluctant to come in on the side of the Opposition on this issue, but I can tell the Minister that my constituency has never suffered as much in my whole business career as it has since the Budget last year. National insurance increases and related increases have absolutely crucified business up there. If the Government cared to come up to the highlands and come round local businesses with me, they would be in for a real shock, but I strongly recommend that they do so.
