Fuel tax - asking for reduction in VAT

[pat]

Thought I would pass this one on

When VAT was temporarily reduced to 15%, the Chancellor added 2% duty to fuel to offset the reduction in tax collected from motorists.
Now that VAT has been increased to 17.5% again this hidden tax has not been removed - hence recent rises in your fuel costs.

Sign the petition at the link below to have this stealth tax removed!

The Government probably hoped no one would notice, so well done you Pat for bringing this to our attention!

what difference will it make

oil is about $73 a barrel and fuel is about £1.11 a ltr

when oil was $140 a barrel fuel was about £1,15 a ltr

they will charge what they want and all the moaning and graoning will make no difference if ye dinna want to pay the price then walk,
