Yes, it does seem unfair that a certain section of people legally get away with paying significantly less for their fuel than others!
So, let's allow everyone to use red diesel - that way we are all happy!
Except, of course, those people with
petrol vehicles...
Darn.
Ok, lets slash the tax on that too!
There we go -
now everyone is happy!
Ok, not
quite everyone. So ok, LPG too...
Sorry - voice in the back there, what was that?
You "plug your car into the mains electric each night, to charge its batteries?" Don't make me laugh
Oh. You do. Really? A "green thing" you say?
Best keep you happy too then
Saving the planet and all that - well done you!
Right then.
So, to recap.
We are pleased to announce that we will be slashing the tax on:
Normal Diesel
Petrol
LPG
and Electricty
Dadah!
What now...?
You heat and cook with Gas, and don't feel it's fair that Electric has a lower tax?
Again, a fair comment I guess...
Lower tax on:
Diesel, Petrol, LPG, Electricity and Gas
Result
I'm
fairly sure there is a flaw in there
somewhere, but I can't
quite see it...
