Written Question
Environment Protection: Taxation
Monday 26th January 2015

Asked by: Iain McKenzie (Labour - Inverclyde)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will increase tax incentives for the adoption of greener fuels and technologies.

Answered by Priti Patel - Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs

Since 2011, the Government has cut fuel duty by 1 penny per litre and frozen it until the end of the parliament, resulting in the longest duty freeze in over 20 years.

The Government supports the uptake of greener road fuels and technologies through a number of taxes, including zero rates of vehicle excise duty, preferential rates of company car tax and enhanced capital allowances for ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs), and reduced rates of fuel duty for road fuel gases. In addition to this, the Government is providing £900 million to position the UK at the global forefront of ULEV development, manufacture and use.

The actions this Government has taken on tax, spending and welfare reform have reduced the deficit, protected the economy, and restored stability. Any further tax changes would need to be considered in the context of the wider public finances.
