    Roger - you should read Dan's book about localism, Direct Democracy. The amount of revenue given as grants to local councils is broadly the same as the net amount the British Government gets from VAT receipts at 17.5%. The idea is to stop the grant and allow VAT to be levied locally as a local sales tax. As long as the minimum is 15% and the EU gets its bung its would be legal.

    So no, not an additional tax, a replacement that would be levied on a county rather than district basis. There would still be Council Tax and Business Rates with the latter set locally.

    Roger - I have complained via the website.
