Reeves and ministers including Darren Jones have refused to rule out increasing VAT at this year’s Budget, claiming that manifesto commitments not to raise it “stand”. A VAT rise could include broadening the base of products that the tax is charged on though reports have suggested that Reeves could look to reduce energy prices by creating another exemption, a move she may hope could drive growth across the UK.  Senior Downing Street officials also admitted public finances were in a “difficult” state and tax rises look all but certain later this year.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"economic","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
