50% of Ireland's energy providers, Fuels for Ireland (FFI), urges the Irish government to postpone fuel excise duty increase and establish an Expert Group on Taxation.

Fuels for Ireland (FFI), representing 50% of Ireland's energy providers, is urging the Irish government to postpone the planned increase in fuel excise duty set for April 1st. The UK has postponed its fuel excise duty increases for 12 months, leading to a potential price difference that could put Irish fuel retailers in border counties at a disadvantage and threaten their survival. FFI also calls for the establishment of an Expert Group on Taxation to examine all issues surrounding tax as the economy transitions to net-zero carbon emissions.
