Can anyone clear up what is being discussed? Is it
1 deferral of duty already paid by the taxpayer so that the operator keeps the tax paid and doesnt hand it over, or
2 amending duty going forward so it isnt collected ?
The latter would seem to be helpful as total fare prices would fall dramatically, although with high loadings that may not save them beyond any immediate cashflow crisis. The former, which was what the BBC was suggesting last night, would seem to be diverting my taxes with no guarantee to prevent more money going to management or shareholders....That was not the basis on which I paid.
