Re: Views on reducing VAT on repairing white goods

Thanks for replying Dave.

On the VAT issue I imagine quite a lot of repair businesses are VAT registered so at least for their repairs it would reduce the cost of repair and make it more likely customers would choose to repair rather than junk it and buy new. But is this just encouraging manufacturers to produce machines which need repairing? Would the longer warranty period be a more effective way to reduce waste, because manufacturers would have to build better machines? I’m not sure what the answer is to your point about getting paid a decent amount from the agents/manufacturers but do you think that might be a separate issue?…
