Britain's energy bills will be slashed by £2 billion a year if voters back Brexit because it would allow ministers to scrap the 'unfair' VAT tax on gas and electricity, Leave campaigners claimed today.
EU rules on VAT introduced in 1993 ban individual member states from cutting VAT below 5 per cent.
Leading Brexit campaigners Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Labour MP Gisela Stuart have today claimed Brexit would benefit the poorest families because they pay three times more of their income on household energy bills than the richest households.
They say the £2 billion tax cut in energy bills could be funded with some of the £8.5 billion a year saved from Britain's contributions to the EU.
