Luxury retailers want taxpayers to fund a 20% tax break for foreign tourists.
They paid consultancy Cebr to claim this will raise £2.6bn for the UK. That convinced Sadiq Khan and Kemi Badenoch.
But it's false: a free lunch. Four basic errors mask a £600m loss.

Third, Cebr's calculations ignore the fact that tourists claiming VAT refunds usually pay a sizeable fee to an intermediary. That immediately slices off 20%+ of the benefit.

Rosstat is not the CEBR of Russia. It only has visibility into large and medium-sized enterprises. Small businesses are excluded entirely.
It also doesn’t have good access to wage information.

How bad is it?
Well as you see here, there is a “general distrust of market participants in the relevant information from Rosstat”
Probably because they can see their numbers and they KNOW Rosstat is wrong, and Rosstat is the government’s statistical service.
IT’S LIKELY NO ONE KNOWS

Households reported stronger business activity, financial confidence about the future, and sharply rising house prices (which this survey includes as a measure).

Centre for Economics and Business Research calculates effect of inflation and wage stagnation to end of 2027
UK households will have suffered a £2,400 financial hit, on average, from the Iran war by the end of 2027, new analysis shows.
The Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) has calculated that the jump in inflation since the conflict began, and weaker wage growth, will knock £1,100 off the real income of the average UK household in 2026, and by a further £1,300 in 2027. Continue reading...
