Press Release: Budget fuel duty reprieve welcomed
Budget fuel duty reprieve welcomed
March 24, 2010
Fleet industry website, FleetDirectory.co.uk comments on today’s Budget.
Spokesperson for FleetDirectory.co.uk, Richard Lawton said: “The Chancellor’s decision to delay the 3 pence hike in fuel duty will create a short-lived breathing space for motorists and businesses, but with fuel prices already extremely high, the 1 pence a litre increase for April 1 should have been dropped altogether. Tax on fuel in the UK is one of the highest in Europe and with a weak pound, the price to fill up is already impacting on business recovery.
“Investment in the road network and investment into hard shoulder running projects is essential to keep the UK economy literally and figuratively moving.
“Thankfully, Mr Darling avoided dropping a 20 per cent VAT bomb which would cripple a slowly recovery economy and has provided a package of support for small and medium size businesses which we welcome,” he added.
