"Of the 63,909 poll respondents, 45.7% want Fuel Duty Cut by up to 20p per litre, 27.5% want it kept frozen, 19.3% want this regressive levy scrapped altogether, and 3.6% want it increased by up to 20p per litre. 3.9% were unsure about what they wanted to happen with the budget regarding this tax. Despite more than 83.4% saying that EVs should be taxed to use our roads, 4 out of 5 (78.7%) are completely against introducing any form of pay-per-mile taxation."
"Over 12,007 small businesses/sole traders also responded, with 55% to 77% stating that their company would have no choice but to reduce their business costs if fuel duty were increased by 5p to 20p in the Budget. If the Chancellor continues to freeze Fuel Duty, however, one in four small businesses responding to FairFuelUK's Annual survey will definitely increase their spending on their businesses."
FairFuelUK and Lewis Cocking MP will present the annual pre-budget poll results at Portcullis House on November 17th. The survey ran from October 20th to November 14th and drew 63,909 respondents. 45.7% want Fuel Duty cut by up to 20p per litre, 27.5% want it frozen, 19.3% want it scrapped, and 3.6% want an increase. 83.4% support EV taxation for road use, while 78.7% oppose pay-per-mile schemes. Between 47% and 69% would cut spending if duty rose; up to 90% would spend savings if duty were cut by 20p. Over 12,007 small businesses reported likely cost reductions if duty increased.
