Current Affairs EU In or Out

[bring the ghost on]

We were told to up ours to that figure. In other words, being told by the EU what to do economic & tax wise...

It was raised in 2011 as part of the deficit reduction programme, it has nothing to do with the EU.

Im not too sure

It is a lie. There's some coordination between states - they however, cannot FORCE the UK to do anything other than not lower it below 15%.

 

[Old Blue 2]

There is a minimal sales tax across Europe at 15%. We exceed the minimum by 5%. So, you're wrong.

As I have already posted, I stand corrected. I am big enough to admit when I have erred, unlike some others on here...

 

[bizzaro]

OK, so we're being screwed over by the Conservative Government. I stand corrected

Yes. Its good to see that you've retracted that lie you posted.

NOW.

About that £350 million per week....

Malta's VAT rate is 18%. Luxembourg's is 17%, below the 17.5% the UK had before the UK government decided to increase it to 'balance the books'.

Edit: Just seen your post admitting your error.

Well in that case...

WHAT ABOUT ST HELENS?!

It's in Merseyside, but I only needed a couple of examples.....what is your point......

 

[Joey66]

The Republic of Ireland rates vary but can be as high as 23 percent!

 

[Joey66]

Yes. Its good to see that you've retracted that lie you posted.

Overall we will have a budget surplus of 10 billion per year on eventually leaving the EU it would be cheaper paying the 3 percent tariffs than membership!

No it won't and you're plucking figures out of thin air.

 

[bring the ghost on]

Jeez, how old are you?

Bullshit crocodile tears from a Remainer

you misunderstand completely.

One of the worst posts I've ever read on here!

Stick to the legal tenet, eh, Esk: 'He who asserts must prove'. Apply that tenet to everything you say above, and everything you say... fails the test!

Give it a rest mate.

 

[bizzaro]

Give it a rest mate.

I've just added 'EU fixes UK VAT rates' to the '£350million per week' quotes in the vaults.

Utter shambles people getting away with lying.

You've just plucked £10 billion a year out of thin air.

We've just had some one falsely claim the EU fixes the UK VAT rates.

Pull the other one mate.

 

[peteblue]
