VAT Man & Robin

The Prime Minister and George Osborne finally unmasked themselves in the recent budget and although they may think they are the super heroes of Government, mimicking the cape crusaders of the sixties fighting the national debt, they cannot “kapaw” “kersplash” & splat their way through the small businesses of Britain whilst ignoring the super villains of TAX avoidance.

Too many large companies that turn over billions of pounds each year from the UK pay absolutely no VAT or TAX because they are operated from outside the country.

George Osborne has raised VAT on listed buildings, Church repairs, pasties, pies and caravans as these are easy soft targets that affect a small group of businesses, but in reality we all end up paying more.  It seems to me that they are chasing the pennies but ignoring the pounds when it comes to TAX.  There are many Items that are VAT exempt or zero rated, so if this dynamic duo wants to level the tax system then let’s have fair play for all.

The double dip recession that they said would not happen but were warned about has arrived; we all understand that the debt and deficit is too high and that we all must share the burden of paying it, so why isn’t everyone paying?  Newspapers, magazines, financial services and even Aeroplanes pay no VAT.  If you added all the VAT that was not collected by the multinationals that operate outside the UK and placed VAT on newspapers, financial services and many of the other exempt items the deficit would be reduced to nothing within a few years.

The top pair claimed power and stated they wanted it known that Britain was open for business and wanted to get Britain manufacturing again, so why choose the caravan industry, one of the few UK manufacturers to take the first blood on the VAT battle.  This industry has had it hard for the past few years as the recession in 2009 saw off many of the finance houses and as the disposable income of the public was reduced so were the caravan buying customers. It makes no sense, perhaps lunch with Dave Cameron would help - can anyone lend me £200k?

Figures released in July by the Office of National Statistics revealed a huge drop in Britons travelling abroad – signalling a huge rise in ‘staycations’ as UK residents spent their holiday time closer to home – and caravan parks have reaped the benefits of this trend.

Caravan Holidays were up by us much as 40% across the UK while Caravan Sales have doubled in some parts of the country. Great value new models and quality value for money second-hand models have driven this rise. Sales of top of the range new caravans have reduced but anything costing under £15, 000 is being snapped up.

Louise Wood of the National Caravan Council said: “Dealers are complaining that they don’t have enough second-hand caravans to sell.”

Some 30% of Brits are said to be considering a caravan holiday next year.

2009 was deemed the year of the ‘staycation’, when British holidaymakers opted to enjoy their summer break on home shores. And so it has proved, with new figures showing that 2009 witnessed the fastest drop in the number of Britons travelling abroad since the Seventies.

According to Office for National Statistics (ONS) records, 58.6 million foreign trips were taken by Britons last year – a huge drop on 2008, when 69 million of us headed overseas.

Nor was it just residents of the UK who decided to keep things local in 2009. A worldwide decline in travel was reflected in the number of visitors arriving in the UK – only 29.9 million last year, compared to 31.1 million in 2008.

The figures sit in sharp contrast to travel trends over the last two decades.

Until 2009, the number of Britons travelling abroad had risen by an average of 4 per cent year on year over the previous 25 years – while visits to Britain had grown by an average of 3.2 per cent over the same time.

The fall in British visitor numbers made for bad news for overseas businesses. In total, Britons spent £5.1 billion less abroad in 2009 than in 2008, as the Credit Crunch bit.

Surprisingly, the amount of money spent by foreign visitors to Britain rose slightly in 2009, from £16.3 billion to £16.6 billion – this perhaps a reflection of the fact that, although overall visitor numbers fell, the number of tourist visits to the UK rose by a small amount in 2009 – from 10.9 million in 2008 to 11.4 million in 2009.

The ONS statistics show that London was still the most popular destination for foreign visitors in 2009, followed by Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.

Mexico was the big victim of the tail-off in British travel, suffering a 41 per cent plunge in British visitors in 2009 – although the Swine Flu scare that originated in the Central American country in the April played as significant a role in this as the global financial situation.

At the other end of the scale, Egypt, Jamaica and Lithuania experienced a rise in the number of British visitors – while the figures for Spain and France stayed roughly constant with their 2008 counterparts.

All this is continued good news for the thriving British holiday market and caravan park operators are looking forward to another successful year in 2011.
