Tax hydrogen over Electric17 Oct 2017 21:43
I agree that come what may either will get taxed, however looking from HMG point of view, tax on petrol is used as an inflationary control taxation. This is a very useful tool for HMG. I do not think they would like to see this tool dissolve with oil. Hydrogen has the benefit of inflation control, where as electricity does not. They can hardly charge different rates. Of taxes for different usage unless I'm missing something. Flexible movement of tax is essential.
