Reduce VAT on fuel to ease pressure on drivers, businesses and households
Lower the rate of VAT on fuel to provide immediate, meaningful relief to drivers and to help stabilise prices at the pump. Fuel is not a luxury; it is a necessity for commuting, caring responsibilities, accessing education, supporting local economies and keeping the country moving.

Background
Reducing VAT on fuel would ease pressure on households, support rural and semi-rural communities with no alternative transport options and help businesses manage rising operating costs. It would also provide a fairer, more proportionate approach to taxation at a time when many people are struggling to make ends meet.
Lowering VAT on fuel is a practical, targeted step that would deliver real help to people who need it most. The public cannot continue absorbing endless increases at the forecourt.
