    UK Fuel tax...again..!

    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 Days!

    ...and if they do take it off, it'll go straight back on something else instead. Next stop - 20% VAT

    The tax on fuel goes up every year regardless of the economy, it would have gone up even if the VAT was not reduced, this year it will rise by another 5p per litre and we will just moan and accept it as always.
