Well being on petrol, the questionnaire didnt seem to apply to me. I can fully understand why those presently benefiting from cheap fuel would like to keep it, and accept that if diesel goes up in price it will have a consequence on who can afford to use their boat. I suppose that may have ramifications on marinas, boat production etc etc, but in terms of EU wide fuel tax harmonisation,this cant be on strong ground. Quite what is the arguement that diesel leisure boaters in the UK should have tax reduced fuel? I can see the debate.. Uk farmers, yep good idea, UK marine industry, yes agreed, UK petrol leisure boaters, umm no fraid not-dont get it elsewhere in EU , Uk diesel leisure boaters, er... I dont mind two hoots if diesel leisure boaters get tax efficient fuel, but out of interest, what is the reason? |
