If a business buys fuel it is an allowable business expense, which means that the HMRC loses tax revenue. If there was a reduction of 30-40p per litre then the business would not be able to offset 30-40p per litre against tax, therefore HMRC tax take will rise.
Not convinced yet?
If fuel duty is cut the immediate effect on inflation is downwards, so the current concern about high inflation and so the higher cost of living is gone.
Still to be convinced?
If the cost of fuel is lowered, then there is more cash in your pocket, which means you can reduce your debt, spend a little, thereby boosting the economy.
There is no downside to a reduction in fuel duty do not let the smoke and mirrors of government try to convince you otherwise. My smoke and mirrors make much more sense ;-)
