Government denies ‘anti-diesel’ agenda
The Government has insisted that it carries no anti-diesel agenda, despite concerns from the fleet industry as a whole that the Volkswagen Group emissions scandal has started to negatively impact tax decisions.
As part of that the Autumn Statement, Chancellor George Osborne delayed removal of the 3 per cent company car diesel supplement until April 2021. The supplement was originally planned to be removed in April 2016.
The chancellor said that this was ‘in light of the slower-than-expected introduction of more rigorous EU emissions testing.’ However, a number of fleet industry experts have speculated that the VW emissions scandal influenced the decision.
