Anonymous Dear Sir/Madam,
A freeze on alcohol duty is not required. Alcohol is not an essential item. On-costs from alcohol use (health care, policing, etc) cost the tax payer more in the long run.
Freezing fuel duty I believe would be counterproductive. Single car occupancy is at a very high level, and freezing fuel duty will unfairly benefit those who can afford higher costs (i.e.those with larger engines). With the Carbon Neutral Roadmap in mind, Jersey should be pushing to increase alternative transportation and keeping fuel duty high will help the transition. Road haulage firms should be supported, however.
