Help us stop fuel tax hikes

As you may have read in The Sun, seen on TV or heard on the radio yesterday, the TaxPayers' Alliance has launched a major new campaign on Fuel Duty. The UK has the highest fuel taxes in the European Union. 60 per cent of what customers pay at the pumps goes straight to the taxman.

When drivers pay £30 at the till, around £18 of that is paid straight to the Exchequer, with only the remaining £12 covering the cost of the fuel - including just £1 to the retailer. The Government is currently set to add to that burden by increasing the tax early next year.

Motorists deserve at least a freeze in Fuel Duty for the rest of this Parliament, but we need your help to stop the planned hikes. It only takes a minute to add your voice to calls for lower Fuel Duty.
 

Write to your MP and urge them to support calls to at least freeze fuel duty for the rest of this Parliament
