超过120个组织包括大型企业、慈善机构和行业团体致信英国财政部长约翰·希利，要求从能源账单中移除占比10%的隐性税费1。这些税费被用于资助可再生能源、核电和住宅供暖等政策项目1。
联署机构包括能源英国公司、英国工业联合会、终结燃料贫困组织和英国老龄协会等1。根据这些组织的计算，移除这些隐性税费可将平均家庭年度账单降低最多250英镑，同时可使企业电力价格下降20%1。
英国家庭能源成本压力持续增加1。能源监管机构Ofgem预测，1月份平均年度能源账单将达到1872英镑，较2021年上升70%1。英国最大能源供应商Octopus曾表示，账单在未来四年内可能增长20%1。7月期间，曼彻斯特市长伯勒姆宣布增值税从10月起下调，平均可为消费者节省45英镑1。希利计划在10月28日提交首份预算1。
More than 120 organizations, including major corporations and charities, have written to the UK Chancellor calling for the removal of what they describe as hidden taxes comprising approximately 10% of energy bills 1. These levies, which fund renewable energy programs, nuclear power initiatives, and household heating schemes, significantly increase household costs and threaten business viability 1.
The signatories argue that eliminating these hidden taxes could reduce the average household energy bill by up to £250 annually, on top of a £150 saving already implemented by former Chancellor Reeves, and could lower business electricity prices by 20% 1. This campaign comes as UK energy bills have risen 70% compared to 2021 levels, with Ofgem forecasting average annual household bills to reach £1,872 in January 1. Chancellor John Healey is scheduled to present his first budget on October 28 1.
