If you dig deeper:
"According to a statement by the government, it acted as soon as possible to bring the VAT exemption into force and highlighted that the UK is still bound to EU law governing the tax."

Re: Boris puts 20% VAT back on Facemasks and Glovess.

this is only the beginning, they do have to get the money back somehow that has been given out and still giving out. I dread to think what they will tax in the near future. It has to come from somewhere even though I don't want to pay it lol

Just wait until your council tax goes up to pay for all of those free meals that people think they're entitled to.

There are many masks and gloves adorning the grass verges of this green and pleasant land, free for those willing to take a risk, to protect fellow discarders.

You can say the same for used condoms adorning trees and meadows across the land...

They should be held accountable for how they have spent the money before heaping the bill on the taxpayer

Hi

Once again, blaming the EU for something which is purely a UK Government decision.

The EU have not insisted that VAT be increased back to full rate,
Government is putting it on face masks and gloves but keeping the reduction on the hospitality industry.
