Petition by J E Bridges:
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.
Deadline to sign up by: 17 January 2009
If you agree that the Double taxation is wrong go to the 10 Downing Street Petition page and sign the petition

French police have another excuse to hound motorists. On July 1st 2008 a new law insisting all cars carry a luminous yellow safety vest for the driver to wear in an emergency came into effect with little publicity outside France.
