A study found that millions of UK diesel drivers pay an average 85p a litre in tax at the pumps, making them the second-highest taxed among all European countries. However, this would increase to 91p a litre after the Chancellor's fuel duty hike kicks in, making the UK drivers the most clobbered in Europe. For petrol, the UK drivers are currently the 12th-highest taxed but this would leap to eighth-highest after the hike. The article also mentions the VAT windfall and the pressure put on the Chancellor to remove the hated 5p fuel duty rise.
Millions of drivers would become the most-taxed in Europe under Chancellor Rachel Reeves' fuel tax raid, according to bombshell analysis. A study found millions of UK diesel drivers currently pay an average 85p a litre in tax at the pumps, the second-joint highest after Denmark (88p) and Germany (85p).
But this would increase to an eye-watering 91p a litre after the Chancellor's fuel duty hike kicks in, making them the most clobbered in Europe. For petrol, UK drivers are currently the 12th-highest taxed (79p a litre) out of 29 European countries the study looked at. This would leap to eighth-highest (85p), according to the RAC Foundation analysis.
It comes as the extra VAT windfall Ms Reeves has raked in thanks to sky-high pump prices sparked by the Iran war has hit nearly £500million in less than three months. It piled pressure on her today to ditch her hated 5p a litre fuel duty hike, which kicks in from September, and use the windfall to help pay for it
