Raise fuel duty in line with inflation to raise income for critical services
In 2000 fuel duty on petrol was 49p/litre. Since then, it has not risen with inflation, and currently sits at 53p/litre. We believe raising the duty to 93p/litre would raise significant revenue for the Treasury.

Reduce Fuel Duty to below £0.20 per litre
The Government should fund a reduction in fuel duty to below £0.20 per litre. This could help young people become more mobile – particularly in areas where public transport is insufficient- allowing them to get jobs further away and access recreational activities.
Increase the Personal Allowance to £16,000 and link it to inflation
We call on the Government to increase the Personal Allowance from £12,570 to £16,000 and automatically uprate it each year in line with inflation (CPI), so people on low and middle incomes don’t pay more tax in real terms when living costs rise.
Extend the Fuel Duty Freeze for Motorists For At Least Two More Years
Extend the temporary cut on fuel duty for motorists, set to end in March 2026 for a minimum of 2 more years, ensure fuel duty rates for motorists continue to stay frozen at the current headline rate during this period and set clear targets for further freezes in the future.
Raise the standard tax-free Personal Allowance to £45,000
The Personal Allowance is the amount of income a person can get before they pay income tax. It stands at £12,570 in 2025. We would like the standard Personal Allowance raised to what we think is a more realistic figure of £45,00.
End the freeze on income tax thresholds & adjust annually, indexed to inflation
The fiscal drag hits lower- and middle-income earners the hardest. We call on the Government to unfreeze income tax thresholds and index them to inflation. We believe this will make the tax system fair, let workers keep a fairer share of their earnings, boost the economy, and help families.
