Please cancel the proposed excise duty due on the 31st March 2024. If we include the biofuel increase of 2cpl that occurred on 1st January 2024 this further increase will mean that the cost of petrol will have increased by 10 cents per litre and the cost
of diesel by 8 cents per litre over the course of 3 months. Government excise duty and VAT already accounts for over 50% of the retail price
of fuel - why should it be more?
Why is this important?
This increase will hit everyone’s pockets. From individuals driving to work, families taking children to childcare, school and activities, and
businesses and station owners who provide local flexible employment in many towns and villages across the country.
