NO VAT TO REDUCE FAT
Remove VAT from gym memberships -- encourage the public to get to the gym.
Why is this important?
The UK is in an obesity crisis. Yet only 1 in 7 people have gym memberships. One of the biggest impediments to this is price. 20% of a gym membership goes to VAT, discouraging the public from improving their health and well being. Not to mention saving the NHS millions and millions of pounds by reducing obesity related healthcare.
Make gyms cheaper and the population healthier by removing VAT on gym membership.
