Avoid the VAT on your white goods this new year
Consumers in the UK are estimated to have spent a total of almost £50 billion shopping on the internet during 2009, according to new research. A report released by Retail Decisions found that increased spending over the festive period resulted in a 21 per cent year-on-year increase.
Part of the reason for the hike was down to the Government raising the rate of Value Added Tax from 15 per cent to 17.5 per cent. The rate was lowered during 2009 to help stimulate the economy and drive sales, and news that it would revert to the old rate on January 1, 2010, pushed sales along even more.
Retail Decisions’ report also revealed that for the first time in a decade white goods such as fridges, freezers and cookers, were on top of the bestsellers list. The most likely reason for this is people rushing to make purchases from online retailers before the level of VAT was raised.
If you didn’t make the January 1 deadline however, but still need to replace that clapped out fridge or a troublesome chest freezer, then don’t think you’ll automatically have to pay an extra 2.5 per cent. Some online retailers understand that after the expense of Christmas, not everyone could afford to make large purchases straight away.
As a result, you can still find a few online electrical retailers who have frozen their prices and decided to pay the extra 2.5 per cent themselves, so you don’t have to. There are also online stores that will offer free delivery on your new product, so you are able to save even more cash.
Apart from the money you can save buying your electrical products online, there are a number of other benefits. Some online firms provide a removal service which means they will take away your old electrical appliance and dispose of it for you. With all of the environmental regulations in force, you need to be careful about how you dispose of white goods, especially refrigeration products. Letting a reputable firm handle the disposal can save considerable time and money.
Although some online retailers have decided they don’t want to pass on the VAT increase to customers straight away, the price hold won’t last forever. So if you’re serious about buying that dishwasher that you’ve always wanted, then don’t wait any longer and make sure you take advantage of the VAT freeze.
There are plenty of good deals on larger home appliances such as Plasma TVs and Fridge Freezers that you could get cheaper than you’d expect.

Could this be the first year of a bull run in China?
It is an accepted fact that markets that are developing usually go through an ‘S’ curve. Growth increases and then gets slower at around £4000 GDP per head. This phase has now been reached by China, but what makes this an extraordinarily thrilling time is that never before has a nation as large as China gone through the ‘S’ curve.
This must for sure make it unique. The magnitude and speed of what is happening taken together with having a command economy where things get finished make it so.
Anthony Bolton of Fidelity in the UK suggests that Japan will be overtaken by China by as soon as the end of the next year to develop into the second largest economy in the world. China is maybe a better prospect than India (India suffers from a lot of bureaucratic rules and regulations) owing to its ongoing strong secular growth and a strong centalistic government which gets things done.
‘China is the third biggest economy in the world at present but only the 10th in terms of stock market size.’
Bolton’s favourable view of the Chinese economy is because of his faith that the markets of the West will meet great challenges as they come out of the effects of recession and the credit crunch.
He believes that the UK and the West is in a point of fast economic recovery but that will slow down next year. The West has borrowed from the future to solve today’s problem.
It’s not that the western economies are in a very bad business environment but it is awfully likely that they will have below trend growth and face headwinds. China can continue to expand at a relatively high rate.’
Bolton has stated that China was in the initial year of a multi-year bull run and that it would be ‘very unusual ‘ if it was to finish after just one year.
It is quite probable that most of the markets of the world will go through a re-trenchment stage next year. We are in an environment where interest rates will remain somewhat at a low level and governments will not wish to leave their support mechanisms too rapidly . If they do it too quickly, they may perhaps return to recession.
However there may well be more upside to come for Western equities in the short term. This sort of situation engenders liquidity so there is more upside to come.’
Bolton said the current debt issues in Dubai might be an concern for a number of western economies, but would not have a significant impact for China owing to its relative strength.
