We pay VAT on energy bills and fuel. I'd argue they are essentials.Isn’t this VAT?
No offence but i dont think you are one to comment on personal fiscal responsibility or anything money related at the momentSimple idea - scrap VAT on fuel and slap it on cigs.
It’s up to the individual to continue to smoke. Or young adults (check IDs bad born early 2000s) want to start smoking
Yeah its 5%, 20% for business' if you are over a certain usage per dayIsn't VAT on electricity/gas only 5%? So basically insignificant to the point it won't be noticable if it is removed.

Honestly, so am I. My Eon account said the last update was on the 14th May via smart. By the 19th June I had no further update. I turned off my ihd, turned it back on and within about 15 minutes my meter readings on Eon updated again. Weird.Define submit a reading? As the IHD has nothing to do with submitting readings so im a bit confused
BoE is so screwed.
Even as a home owner I feel they need to increase rates. Right now the weakness of the pound is probably doing similar damage in terms of raising household costs as an increased rate rise.
Obviously this isn't the case for FTBers where mortgage values are through the roof. But as time goes on you'd hope people are fixing long term so future rate hikes will hurt fewer and fewer people.

If you think energy prices and interest rates are going to increase YoY its absolutely worth fixing.Forgive me if I have the wrong end of the stick here but... Considering energy prices are projected to keep increasing, does fixing long term really make any difference? Surely if energy prices are going to continue to increase (as projected) and cost of living continues to increase year on year, they are not saving themselves from anything, they are just deferring the "hurt" until a few years down the line when they suddenly are faced with a truly gargantuan increase in rates as they play "catch up" to the market?
Seems just like kicking the can down the road, so to speak.
*Edit* I can see how it may help protect people from "unforeseen" spikes in costs like has happened recently, in part sparked off by the Ukraine situation - but presuming we're not going to have countries invading other countries on a regular basis, hence fixing rates in the hope of avoiding "the hurt" from ever increasing costs seems futile?
Won't let me send you a DM for some reason?I work for eonnext and work relatively closely with the smart teams. DM me if you want me to get someone to look into you smart meters
i had it set to nobody can send me msgs lol, should be good nowWon't let me send you a DM for some reason?
Fixing now though its unlikely to be worth it, the fixes are too high for most.If you think energy prices and interest rates are going to increase YoY its absolutely worth fixing.
Fixing on a unit price of 22p for 3 years means you save for 3 years. You would end up on the new standard 3 years from now regardless of fixing. But the years you were fixed you'd be saving considerably

Russia only supplies 3% of our Gas, stop fear mongering. Prices would rise yes but we wouldnt "not have any gas and need to ration"Depends on where you see price going.
I mean Russia is potentially going to cut gas to Europe. In which case prices will rocket and rationing will occur.
