- Harold Tillman, chairman of the British Fashion Council, is calling for a delay in the planned VAT rise.
- He wants the VAT rise to be postponed for 30 days to help consumers affected by the recent snow.
- Tillman believes that this delay would allow people who want to shop to do so in January.
- He suggests that VAT collections have been affected by the bad weather.
- Tillman has received support from retailers and has met with a Government minister to discuss the proposal.
- The minister has given an “encouraging” response but acknowledges the difficulties in postponing the tax rise at short notice.
