Use seized funds and assets of oligarchs to subsidise VAT on petrol and diesel.
Use any accounts, funds or assets seized under the sanctions of Russian oligarchs to subsidise the cost of VAT to the consumer on petrol and diesel at the pumps bringing down the cost of fuel..
It is due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine which is driving up the cost of fuel so let THEM pay for it instead of small businesses like my own driving school having to suffer the increasing cost of fuel.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you're concerned about the price of fuel, but the Government has only frozen the assets of people sanctioned under the UK’s sanctions regime relating to Russia, so there is no revenue from these that can be used by the Government to subsidise the cost of fuel.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
