Rejected petition Exempt V8 petrol vehicles from fuel excise tax

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you're concerned about taxes on vehicles which use v8 fuel, however it's not clear whether you want such vehicles to be exempt from fuel duty (i.e. the tax levied on the sale of fuel), vehicle excise duty (sometimes known as road tax), or both.

You can find out more about fuel duty here: https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-shopping/fuel-duty
You can find out more about vehicle excise duty here: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables

You could have a petition which calls for vehicles which use v8 fuel to be exempted from one or both of these duties, if that is something you'd like to see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
