Yes, because this is what the law currently requires. What's now being proposed is a change in the law. You can't break the law just because you don't like it.

If it does happen, I wonder if the UK will be allowed to use it's special 0% rate, or whether it'll be limited to the 5% rate. |

Because in Spain, some years ago, the Government dropped some days the VAT, and you only saw changes in the detailed bill, where the seller writes down the taxes, not the final price.
