Plans to raise VAT to 18.5% and they posted it by mistake on their website !!!!
Guardian: Treasury denies secret VAT rise plan
The Treasury was tonight forced to deny that Alistair Darling was drawing up secret plans to raise VAT to 18.5% in the next parliament in an attempt to fill the £60bn black hole in the Government's finances. Officials insisted that a document outlining an intention to raise VAT to a record rate had been put on a website by mistake and that the chancellor had rejected the idea in the run-up to Monday's pre-budget report (PBR).
