BIFA applauds the decision to prolong the proposed reduction in fuel duty.

The British International Freight Association (BIFA) welcomed the government's decision to extend the 5p fuel duty cut for the year, indicating that the government is responsive to their concerns. BIFA director general Steve Parker noted that the 12-month vehicle excise duty exemption for HGVs would aid freight forwarding and logistics businesses facing rising costs. He emphasized the need for a long-term fuel duty stability mechanism and continues to advocate for an essential user rebate to enhance the competitiveness of UK freight and logistics firms.
