Reeves plots VAT attack on private health that would hit EIGHT MILLION families after class war assault on school fees

Yesterday, Rachel Reeves put Britain in a red warning for tax increases among the speculation that the middle classes planned a VAT raid.

On an extraordinary U -turn, Chancellor ‘The world has changed’ promised not to increase taxes again.

Prime Minister Darren Jones, despite his commitment to hold the same level, refused to exclude the increasing VAT in the budget.

The Whitehall resources told Daily Mail that the Treasury has examined the options for adding VAT to the currently exempted services – it is said to be on the line of fire with private health and financial services.

Putting VAT in private health services can collect £ 2 billion for the Treasury, but it reaches eight million middle -class families.

The Treasury also looks at the options for reducing the threshold of small enterprises to register for VAT despite the pressure from the sector to increase the limit to increase growth.

A source said: ‘Increasing the VAT rate will be very difficult after all promises. However, there are ways to expand the VAT base that can increase significant amounts. With VAT, we have seen it with private school fees before – you can now see with private health insurance and other exempted products. ‘

Came as follows:

• Keir Starmer was prepared to give another tax warning to use the opening party conference speech today to say that reconstruction of England requires ‘cost -free or not easy decisions’;
• Ms. Reeves pointed to a march in betting taxes to finance the abolition of the benefit limit with two children and said that it was ‘a case for gambling companies to pay more’;
• The departments of the work opened the controversial decision to attack the Prime Minister’s Nigel Farage’s immigration policies as ‘racist’;
• Andy Burnham said that Mrs. Reeves wanted to lead the Labor Party after saving ‘dangerous wrong’ plans for more expenditure and borrowing;
• He challenged his workers’ activists Sir Keir to pass a movement that condemns Israel’s actions in Gaza as’ genocide ‘;
• Ms. Reeves called for a new ‘youth mobility’ agreement with Brussels, because Mr. Burnham claimed that Britain would join the EU again during his life;
• The Treasury said that the plan of return to a new job for unemployed young people would not be valid for tens of thousands of people who complained about concern and other mild mental health conditions;
• Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood called Unite The Kingdom Marchrs ‘heirs to the wilds’.

In November last year, Ms. Reeves tried to calm down the anger of business on a 90 billion pound budget ‘tax bombs’, saying that the British industry’s confederation was a one -time and that it would not come back with more borrowing or more tax’.

But yesterday asked him to repeat the hostages, he told the BBC: ‘I think everyone can see that the world has changed last year and we are not immune to it.’

And in his conference speech at Liverpool, Mrs. Reeves gave more clues that he planned more tax increase in this autumn before he called the British ‘believing’ that he could return the economy.

Reeves, ‘We will encounter more tests in the coming months, the future elections have become more difficult by harsh global winds and long -term damage to our economy.

Comments will fuel the fear that the chancellor has prepared for another big tax hike to fill the estimated 30 billion black hole in public finances.

Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stide said: ‘Nothing is safe under the worker – not your job, your savings or retirement salary. Rachel Reeves says he will not risk public finances, but he already does it – with more borrowing, higher expenditure and more tax.

‘Labor has increased taxes, including £ 25 billion for jobs, £ 40 billion a year, and now it will not return for more.’

In the last year’s manifesto, the Labor Party promised not to increase VAT, income tax or national insurance as part of a ‘tax lock’ hostage designed to protect ‘working people’.

However, in recent days, both the Prime Minister and the Chancellor refused to exclude VAT and said only the Workers ‘Manifesto’ stopped.

Mr. Jones suggested that the ‘tax lock’ commitments could not get rid of the budget: ‘The budget is not until November 26, so we will not say what the budget is at the party conference today. We will tell the country normally in parliament.

‘Manifesto stands today because the decisions have not yet taken.’

Former workers’ leader Neil Kinnock asked VAT to be taken from private health insurance for the first time and said he could provide ‘vital financing’ for public services.

However, the movement would hit millions of people who received private health insurance due to concerns about NHS’s situation.

Treasury refrained from commenting.
