Mind you, you would have to stumble accross it because it's not exactly widely-publicised here.

Much of the investment is from the USA's Netflix and Amazon plus USA-based production companies, apparently.

I suspect that the best you can hope for is a single rate that brings in the same amount of revenue. I vaguely remember there were several different rates when I lived there (Australia's GST is 10% but there are things, such as food and healthcare, which are exempt)

There won't be any EU VAT for a start. The domestic EU VAT is about 5% of our 20% rate.

No, we can set our own, but still have to pay for things.
We are hugely in debt.

Prior to this we didn't even feature in the top 10.
In fact we just scraped into the top 30, but look at all the EU members and their debt.

Paying higher tax isn't the answer to our debt - its a really stupid idea.

That money will end up in the same place as the 350million pounds a week that was implied would go to the NHS. The pandemic showed how well that was funded.
