Temporary RUC reduction ending
The Government has announced that the RUC rates reduction, which it introduced last April, is to end on 31 January 2023.
From 1 February 2023, standard rates will apply to RUC rates that were temporarily reduced on 21 April 2022.
Road users who pay RUC need to be aware of how the transition back to the standard rates will work.
Whoopee!! more freight costs to drive up prices. More pain at the Supermarket etc. Complain to your MP.
