Domestic Energy (Value Added Tax) Bill

Key Points

• Exempts VAT on domestic electricity, gas and heating oil (and related services) for home use.
• The full title mentions 'and connected purposes', suggesting additional related provisions.
• Originating in the Commons; current stage is the 2nd reading in the Commons.
• If enacted, households could see reduced energy bills due to the VAT removal on domestic energy.
• Not yet law; would need to pass through further stages in both Houses before becoming law.

Progress

The bill is at the 2nd reading in the Commons. If it advances, it would proceed through later Commons stages and then to the Lords for consideration.
