 Broadening the scope of VAT has been cited as a possible solution to help people looking for 40-plus jobs while also boosting government earnings.In a bid to reduce the UK's fiscal deficit, the government has proposed implementing a one per cent increase in National Insurance contributions, something which business groups have described as a "tax on jobs". Experts have warned that hiking the cost of employing staff could lead to a drop in recruitment activity, making it harder for people to find 40-plus jobs. But independent thinktank Reform has instead called for Whitehall policymakers to cut VAT exemptions for everyone apart from UK households with an income of less than £17,000 per year. Director of Reform Andrew Haldenby warned all three major political parties against proceeding with their plans to impose "job-killing taxes on employment and growth". He added: "If politicians can find the courage to eliminate zero-rate exemptions in VAT, they can cut taxes on jobs while still reducing the deficit." Posted by Daniel Frost
