Tax relief on Fuel for front line workers

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The government makes approximately 80/90p per litre for fuel duty and VAT from petrol stations. The government can reduce this duty or VAT to front line staff to enable the health service to keep running by way of a Fuel Card

If this does not happen then we are going to be faced with staff leaving care, small companies closing possibly even larger ones closing and elderly and vulnerable people will be left to die in their own homes, hospitals over run, increase in mental health conditions and general illnesses. Health care is already in crisis because the government don’t pay enough into health care and now they want to take it back off the workers through national insurance as well!

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you want certain workers to be eligible for tax relief on fuel, however it's not clear which specific groups of workers you want this to apply to.

You could have a petition calling for tax relief on fuel to be granted to a specified group of workers, so long as the petition was clear who those groups were.
