Five-Year Commitment on Lpg Duty Continues

UKLPG says that, following its representations to the Treasury, fuel duty on lpg autogas will go up by only 2.685p per litre after the Chancellor’s Budget, whilst duty on petrol and diesel will go up by 2.76p per litre. The Chancellor also announced that all fuel duty would rise by 1p per litre in real terms in April 2014, continuing the Government’s five-year commitment on fuel duty.

Mike Chapman, autogas manager at UKLPG, said: “As regards the differential in duty lpg has with petrol and diesel, the Government headline commitment is that this differential would not decrease by more than 1p per litre per year. However, in practice, we are seeing the differential increase to our advantage.”

From April 1, the alternative fuel car discount on vehicle excise duty will be £10 per year for all cars registered after March 1 2001.

Mike said: “UKLPG will be lobbying the future government to reflect lpg’s carbon savings in the alternative fuel car discount.”
