It’s that time of year where we’re all too familiar with the term ‘freeze’ but there’s a reason to feel a little warmer now thanks to the recent announcement in the autumn Budget!
It has been announced by Philip Hammond that the Fuel Duty will be frozen until April 2018. It had previously been planned that there would be a 2p hike putting the cost at each tank of petrol at £1.36.
Fuel duty will now continue as it has for the past 5 years i.e. 57.95p per litre. Should the 2pence hike have gone ahead it would have cost even the smallest households a further £120 per year.
There was further good news for motorists with the announcement of £1.3billion to be spent on Britain’s road networks over the coming years. It was stated that £27million of the spending will go towards a new ‘superhighway’ between Oxford and Cambridge via Milton Keynes.
It was also confirmed that the tax savings on salary sacrifice and benefits in kind will be stopped however those driving ultra low emission car however will not have their benefits stopped.
