Given the current situation simply remove VAT from all energy sources bills
As a temporary measure to help everyone weather the current onslaught of price increases
As prices are going up at alarming levels (50% for domestic fuel alone) it seems the tax take will already be more than high so removing all VAT would help the vast majority of citizens
