We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Stop charging VAT on Fuel Duty. More details
Submitted by je bridges – Deadline to sign up by: 17 January 2009 – Signatures: 3,774
Currently, between 50% and 60% of the nett price of fuel is Fuel Duty. VAT is added on top of this which automatically increases the Fuel Duty by 17.5% - i.e., there is a tax levied on the tax.
As far as I can tell, VAT is a tax levied on the difference between a commodity's price before taxes and its cost of production. It therefore seems to me that VAT on fuel should be charged just on the price BEFORE Fuel Duty is added.
I call upon the Prime Minister to correct this injustice and stop this Double Taxation.
