Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to change the rate of VAT applied to the installation of oil-fired boilers as part of grant-funded energy efficiency schemes in the homes of people in receipt of War Disablement Pension.
Under current VAT rules, the installation of oil-fired boilers as part of grant-funded energy efficiency schemes in the homes of people in receipt of War Disablement Pension is subject to the reduced rate of VAT. The Government has no plans to change this VAT treatment at this time.
