Do not increase VAT

Background

There is speculation that VAT might be raised. We are already paying more VAT than most other countries and we believe the British public cannot handle any further price increases. Businesses are struggling as it is and raising VAT could cause further damage to our economy.

Additional details

The government keeps on raising our taxes and we can't take it anymore. We feel everyone is struggling and businesses can't cope with the extra tax burdens that's already been introduced in the spring budget. We think everything will go up in price if the government raise VAT. We do not want any further tax rises on daily essentials.
