    Hi Bruce,

    The VAT on LPG is 5%.

    According to the Chancellor's statement back in the summer it was only the main rate of VAT - i.e. 17.5% - that was rising.

    Happy New Year! (at least LPG won't be getting more expensive ...! Well, not because of a tax increase, though we can be sure the suppliers will tell us endless reasons why it has to go up. Though when these reasons go in reverse - e.g. exchange rate, general oil prices, ... - strangely LPG rarely follows).
