Another government U turn incoming? 16:24 - Mar 13 with 1049 viewsPinewoodblue

Both Starmer, & Rachael from accounts, have said tax on fuel will increase in September.

I wondered how much taxes on motorists would increase per day if Petrol & Diesel prices, at the pumps, increased by 20p per litre in VAT

So I asked AI


An increase of 20p per litre in the pump price of petrol and diesel results in approximately £5.4 million in extra VAT collected by the government every day in the UK.

Do they ever think things through. Yet thry have the audacity to accuse petrol retailers of profiteering.

Is this a recent announcement doubling-down on the announcement in the Spring Statement, or just a re-hash of the ten-day-old announcement?

The only recent coverage I can see is that Starmer's most recent comments have been to the extent that the decision will be kept under review.

On the basis that the plan was to reverse the 5p cut brought in as a result of the Ukraine situation in 2022, and there was no war in Iran at the time, I cannot see the issue here.

Likewise, I cannot see the issue with changing that decision should it become apparent that the Iran situation will have a longer-term impact on fuel prices, requiring intervention in line with the previous Ukraine-based intervention.

You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright.

It's not as if anything has happened in the last couple of weeks that would have significantly changed fuel prices and therefore any decisions or policies relating to them is there?

There is a certain irony in your closing line "Do they ever think things through".

I actually think Starmer refereeing the game vs Leicester may have been better than Busby.

Agreed. It is the most sexist nonsense, driven by some of the least pleasant people working in finance.
