VAT rises from 15% to 17.5% in Jan buy now to beat the price hikes

 Moneysavingexpert.com remind us that:

Value Added Tax (VAT) goes back up to 17.5% on 1 Jan, meaning prices across the UK will rise. A £10 DVD will cost £10.22 (or more if companies round up) and a £5,000 kitchen will cost £110 more

If you are thinking about buying a "big ticket" item between boxing day and the end of December is looking good.
