DAVID Cameron's secret tax bombshell has turned out to be a damp squib. The explosive device was supposed to be found in background website briefing provided by the UK Treasury about changes in VAT rates. This explained that the current standard rate of 17.5 percent would be reduced to 15 per cent from next Monday until 1 January 2010; there then followed the phrase that has caused so much parliamentary and media trouble: ...and subsequently increased to 18.5 per cent in 2011-12.
