About this room

Andy Burnham, the new prime minister, will cut VAT on electricity bills to 0% for six months from 1 October, saving a typical household around £45 over the winter. The measure applies only in Great Britain, not Northern Ireland, and benefits households with high electricity usage most, while being less helpful for those who heat with gas.
