Chancellor's Pre-Budget Report 2008
The main changes announced by the Chancellor included changes to VAT. The standard rate of VAT will be reduced by 2.5% from 17.5% to 15% on 1 December 2008. This new rate will apply until 31 December 2009, when it will revert to 17.5%. Only standard-rated sales are affected. There are no changes to sales that are zero-rated or reduced-rated for VAT. Similarly, there are no changes to the VAT exemptions. For further details on the Pre-Budget Report 2008 click here.

Glasgow has Christmas wrapped up - oh yes it has!
It has been described as the most satisfying Christmas shopping experience in the UK outside London, with giant malls, high street favourites, designer boutiques and specialist stores – all in a compact, walkable space - and now characters from Glasgow’s festive theatre productions have been recruited to a drive to highlight that Glasgow has got it all this Christmas. A dream cast of Cinderella (King’s Theatre), Dorothy (The Citizens Theatre), Mother Bruce (The Tron) and the Snow Queen (The Arches) together with Santa and some little helpers, accompanied a giant sleigh piled high with presents down Buchanan Street to promote www.seeglasgow.com as the definitive guide to everything you need to know about Glasgow this festive season. The website, which has been developed by Glasgow City Marketing Bureau (GCMB), is packed with information on what to see and do this Christmas - including full details of Winterfest - as well as great gift ideas, store opening hours and details of transport initiatives.
