Justin Smith Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Cut Fuel Taxes ! Apparently there`s preasure for it. Are you for motherhood and apple pie ? ! ? Let`s be honest, any fuel tax cut will mean one of two things, either a cut in services, or an increase in income tax. Even if you forget about traffic congestion I`d rather they put tax on fuel than on my income, simple as. What about people who don`t pay income tax ? Well to be frank I don`t understand how anyone could earn so little that they don`t pay any income tax (or be on benefits) and afford to run a car. Worse, what about all those people in the black economy, you know Billy the Bodging Builder who wants paying in cash, so he doesn`t pay any tax, whilst we all pay for his/his families services. Forget that. The fact he can`t avoid paying tax when he fills his van with fuel, well that`s a bleedin` good thing, and the more he has to pay, the better.

chem1st Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Until petrol breaches £5 a Litre, I'm more concerned about the cost of insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuy Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 The sooner there is a large cut, not just a freeze, or scrapping of a planned rise, the better; The price of fuel is getting eye watering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You've made an assumption that a reduction in fuel duty would result in an increase on income tax, but that's just your assumption isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
