Dont increase tax rate on red diesel
Rejected
12 signatures
What the petition asks
Freeze the idea of an increase in tax charges for consumers of red diesel.
Keep the red diesel rate at the low. Most businesses mainly in the farming industry will suffer tremendously if the price of red diesel was to be increased by the tax charges. Farming, construction, marine and many more industries will end up in financial difficulties if red diesel was to be taxed at the same rate as white diesel.
