That's not to say the Cycle to Work scheme is perfect: it's not. Zero-rating bikes and ebikes would be *much* better because that means the discount is available to everyone, not just full-time workers over the earnings threshold. Also the discount is the same for everyone, not bigger for high earners. Want to balance the duty books? Stick the VAT on jet fuel or stop freezing fuel duty if you *really* care about green transport #cycling #BikeTooter 7/n

Zero-rating bikes for VAT would be a simple solution with basically no administrative costs at all, that would produce a similar benefit for a wider range of people. I won't be holding my breath though while this right-lurching, economically illiterate shambles of a Government is in power. #cycling #BikeTooter /ends
