TaxPayers’ Alliance responds to possible new carbon taxes

For immediate release

 

Responding to reports of new carbon taxes on meat, cheese and gas heating, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:

“New eco taxes would leave slim pickings for struggling families, who rely on cheap energy and food to heat their homes and put dinner on the table. 

“With the highest tax levels in 70 years, taxpayers have already had their belts tightened.

“Ministers must ease the burden on Brits before any green tax hikes.”
