I think your mate at the LPG group may have been a bit to near the pump, I've been reading the budget in full and have just stumbled across section 7.72
And I quote
"the Government today announces that, from 1 September 2006, duty rates on LPG will increase by the equivalent of 2.25 pence per litre, to reduce the differential with main rates by 1 penny per litre which will reflect more accurately the environmental benefits of the fuel; and that, also from 1 September, duty rates on NG will increase by the equivalent of 1.25 pence per litre, maintaining the differential with main rates.
Furthermore, the Government announces that the duty differential between LPG and main road fuels will be reduced by the equivalent of 1 penny per litre each year to 2008-09, and
that the duty differential between NG rates and main duty rates will be maintained each year until 2008-09, to reflect the differing environmental benefits of the two fuel types"
Don't know what to make of it but the old LPGA is a bit uneconomic with the truth !!.
According to an economist that a 35 % increase in tax !! I hope you don't pay a sub to that lot ??
