Financial Directors concerned about fuel rises

08 December 2011

Financial Directors are more concerned about fuel rises than they are the VAT rise. A recent survey showed that 53% of respondents are concerned with this matter as the rise could affect their businesses significantly. If fuel were to rise above £1.70 per litre one in ten are predicted to make redundancies. At present within Europe, the UK is the 8th most expensive country for unleaded petrol and 2nd most expensive country for diesel.
