Jersey Proposes 2027 Fuel Duty Freeze to Alleviate Cost‑of‑Living Pressures
Current overview (not historical)
The Government of Jersey has announced a proposal to freeze fuel duty at its current level through 2027, aiming to shield households and transport‑dependent businesses from rising fuel costs. The move is presented as a continuation of the government’s support amid ongoing financial pressure, rather than a burden on businesses. Business owners have welcomed the proposal, yet caution that a freeze will only offer limited relief if global oil prices continue to climb. The proposal reflects Jersey’s broader strategy to mitigate cost‑of‑living pressures while maintaining fiscal stability.

While businesses like A&A Scaffolding Solutions welcome the move, they caution that it will offer limited relief if global fuel prices continue to rise, citing pressure on margins across construction and other sectors like tree surgery. The government stated that maintaining the current rate will help avoid additional costs for households and businesses reliant on transport.
