Incrases in rates

I don't see any mention here of VAT.  Can anyone tell me if the registration threshold is going up as usual this year or is it still staying at £68,000.

Thanks

Is this a reprint?

Of the Treasury press Release?

I note that the Scottish "pence" has been used instead of "penny". (It's singular, not plural)

Brown and Darling are both guilty of mangling the English language.
