V.A.T Drop to 15 percent

[walesrob]

2.5 percent off any large purchases is beter than a punch in the head

2.5% is nothing, it certainly wont get me to spend money on that flat screen TV I don't really need, which is what Clown Brown is trying to get us to do.

I am after a new laptop, but I'm still gonna wait a few months more, even if the 2.5% cut is actioned tomorrow, after all, 2.5% on 400 notes is only £10, hardly an incentive.

Remember that electronics will all go UP in price in January, as Brown as screwed the exchange rate, and with him 'borrowing' another £100 Billion, it'll go down again....US dollar is likely to hit 1.45

No but many will be by the money saving experts will advise it (starting to think those money savings experts have caused many of the problems)

I also when i did a small google some thought it was dropping to 12.5 percent (not allowed with eu regs 15 % is the minimum allowed)

Although If someone offers me a small discount for something, i'll take it. Save the pennies and the pounds will follow.

Like Admin says prices may rise many shops are cutting back on stock and not buying in the same quanities so prices will possibly increase or the choice will be lost.
