MAnx People Power survey tackles contentious VAT sharing issues
The latest batch of results from the Manx People Power survey has revealed a majority of people would like to see a referendum on VAT negotiations.
The VAT sharing agreement with the UK has been a highly topical issue of late with another change to it seeing a huge amount cut from Government’s yearly spending - roughly £190 million equating to 35% from 2014.
Most of the 1055 interviewees revealed they are very concerned about this future change, nearly half felt that VAT negotiations were poor, with 56% saying the Manx Government’s performance was also poor.
A large majority of respondents want to see VAT proposals submitted to referendum before accepting the new deal with the UK.
