Biasi – who?
Biasi UK launched an online e-petition campaign to lobby the coalition government to scrap VAT on all renewable products and high efficiency boilers says Dave of Plumbers Manchester Co.
Targeting those in the heating industry, as well as professionals across all business sectors and the homeowner, the ‘Scrap the VAT’ campaign has evolved from the company’s belief that one of the main barriers to the selection and installation of renewables and high efficiency boilers is cost.
By scrapping the VAT, these products will become more affordable and their use ill become more widespread. In turn, this will result in reduced energy consumption and emissions, as well as saving money on fuel bills for cash-strapped homeowners. Gren Ward, managing director of Biasi UK, said ‘It is well known in the heating industry that boiler replacement is, for most people, a distress purchase and is not normally driven by a straightforward desire to upgrade and improve their heating provision. This is all interesting stuff again says Dave of the Manchester Plumbers Co.
‘If the Government is truly serious about encouraging uptake on these products to achieve our emissions targets and helping people to heat their homes in the most efficient and cot effective way possible, the best method of achieving this is to instantly remove VAT on renewables and high efficiency boilers.
The success of last year’s boiler scrappage scheme demonstrated how such initiative can make a big difference to people’s thinking and purchase decision making. ‘In addition, this would have the knock-on effect of boosting the heating industry at a time when many of the public sector cuts are having such an impact on the trade’.
