Gold vs Labour's Possible VAT HIKES
Manage episode 518018092 series 3694639
If you’re concerned that the government is preparing to tighten the tax net – this episode is one you cannot afford to miss.
This week on The Bullion Advantage, Jake is joined by Senior Gold Specialist James Byrne to break down what Rachel Reeves’ latest statements really mean ahead of November’s Budget.
Reeves has warned of deepening economic pressures and refused to rule out tax rises — signalling that Labour may be preparing to U-turn on a key election promise. With less than three weeks to go, the question is no longer if tax rises are coming… but who will pay for them.
Jake and James unpack:
- What Reeves means by “each of us must do our bit” — and who will end up footing the bill.
- How Britain’s growing debt hole is forcing the Government toward higher taxation.
- Why a rise to VAT is being quietly discussed, and how it could impact families and business owners.
- Why small and medium-sized businesses may be hit hardest if VAT increases.
- What rising tax pressure means for savers, investors, and the middle class.
- And importantly, why demand for physical gold is increasing ahead of the Budget.
With government policy shifting, public finances strained, and inflation still eroding cash — Jake and James address the crucial question:
Are you prepared to protect your wealth if taxes rise again?
