The government has already announced that from next April, some fees will be cancelled or funded by general taxes, leading to lower energy costs. The party clarified that this proposal will be implemented by cancelling a number of renewable energy programs and environmental fees. Attention to energy costs has increased since the outbreak of war in Iran amid fears that, however, bills are likely to rise again in July when their cap is reset. The Conservative Party has called on the UK government to cancel the value-added tax (VAT) on home energy bills for the next three years, to help alleviate the cost of living amid the ongoing war in the Middle East.
