Arleigh Managing Director, Alastair Thomas, accompanied by the Member of Parliament for Nuneaton, Marcus Jones MP, travelled to Whitehall and was received by the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, David Gauke MP.
The meeting was to discuss the impact that the proposed introduction of VAT at 20% on the sale of static caravans from October 1st 2012 would have on the industry and to add a perspective from a company involved in the supply chain. Mr Thomas articulated the need for more consideration to be given to this decision given the fragile state of the holiday home manufacturing industry already and the knock-on effect that a reduction in new sales would have on a large number of diverse British companies actively involved in supporting this industry.
There is currently a ‘Stop the Caravan Tax’ parliamentary petition being presented to the House of Commons on 22nd May 2012 which is being led by Graham Stuart MP and there has already been significant lobbying from the NCC and BHHPA to try to get the Budget proposal scrapped or restructured.
ACT NOW! Say NO to VAT on Caravan Holiday Homes by signing the e-petition.
