Vehicle Excise Duty (Hansard, 8 April 1986)

HC Deb 08 April 1986 vol 95 c96W 96W

§ Mr. Hill
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the effect on duty on petrol of abolishing the vehicle excise duty and raising the same amount of revenue from the petrol duty; and if he will express this sum in terms of pence per gallon.

§ Mr. Brooke
An increase of 38p per gallon (including VAT) would be required to replace the vehicle excise duty from petrol-driven vehicles, at 1986–87 duty rates.
