VAT on fuel - extra hidden duty- No 10 Petition

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.

Please pass this on to your friends - the more the merrier. Happy motoring!
10,100 signatures at 15.44 today petition closes on the 12th of March

Stuart
Flaming torches and pitchforks are so passée. and hangings too good for some of them.
Wrap em up in a good petition. Remember the one on road pricing that got over a million responses?
Biggest ever on the number 10 site and the PM gracefully backtracked. OR ran away.
Best result is to take their toys away and vote them down in May.

Done. Another name to your expanding list. Let's shame the things into reducing the duty to it's rightful level.

Just got some more information from petrolprices.com on the amount of duty paid on fuel currently. Remember that these figures do not include the VAT element.
2009 Fuel Tax Figures
2009 fuel duty (as of 1 September 2009) in the United Kingdom is:
* 56.19 pence per litre for main road fuels, unleaded petrol and diesel
* 65.91 pence per litre for leaded petrol
* 36.19 pence per litre for bio-diesel and bio-ethanol
* 22.16 pence per kg for road fuel natural gas
* 27.67 pence per kg for road fuel liquefied petroleum gas ('LPG')
On 1 December 2008 a permanent 2p increase in fuel tax was introduced to offset the rate cut in VAT from 17.5% to 15% bringing the duty rate for the main road fuels up to 52.35p per litre.
On 1 April 2009 the duty rate for unleaded petrol and diesel was increased by 1.84 ppl to 54.19p per litre and again on 1 September 2009 by 2 ppl to reach the current level of 56.19 per litre. These rates will be increased further on 1 April 2010 to 2013 by 1% above inflation each year.

Nearly 21,000, still small potatoes in the scheme of things but getting a critical mass.

16669 on the 10th which is strange because there were over 20,000 yesterday. Now I know that the government is not good at IT but this is just plain weird.
