Fuel duty: facts revealed
13 December 2007
Campaign for Better Transport has published a factsheet to clear up some of the claims being circulated about fuel duty – namely, that we pay too much tax. The factsheet reveals that:
- Fuel duty has not been increasing in line with inflation since 2000, with the small increase in Oct 2007 the first in years
- Tax, as a percentage of fuel, has not been this low since 1993
- Higher fuel prices are down to high oil prices not because of fuel duty
- The real cost of motoring has fallen in the past decade, while the cost of taking public transport has increased
