RT @carla_denyer: Greens have long called for a #DirtyProfitsTax on the most polluting industries.
The Tory version of a #WindfallTax though is taking from the fossil fuel companies with one hand but giving it back with the other by rewarding more oil & gas investment 🤦♀️

@joerayment91 @martin_farley @TheGreenParty @UKLabour I support universal benefits and universal basic income
But in the exceptional circumstances of a windfall tax I think it should go to families who are struggling the most
And to increase energy efficiency for us all

@PickardJE @SarahJayneKeny1 But these tax breaks are explicitly not available for investment in renewables
How can that help support the transition?

@AlanWilliams47 This is obvious to everybody except people who work in the Treasury
Or for fossil fuel companies
Or who have shares in fossil fuel companies

Hi @EvanHD
Your Treasury guy said ‘We want to see this money invested in extracting more oil and gas from the North Sea’
You didn’t challenge this
This flies in the face of what govt recently told us about net zero
A more serious muddle than their u-turn on #WindfallTax

It's up there with Osborne cancelling zero carbon homes in 2015. It'll be🤦♀️when we look at it in a few years time

RT @natalieben: Unbelievably, #Government have confirmed that oil and gas companies can largely avoid the windfall tax by re-investing their profits.
And there will be no tax relief for investment in renewables!
You read correctly. NO TAX RELIEF FOR INVESTMENT IN RENEWABLES 🤯

Only this Chancellor could turn a #WindfallTax into a massive boost for fossil fuels
It seems that tax rebate on the tax is not available for renewables
And yes, we are still sitting in the Presidency of the #COP

The answer is no. The rest of us did NOT need 12 detectives to tell us the rules. Unacceptable. #Partygate

RT @carla_denyer: Sunak's #WindfallTax is missing a trick, it incentivises further O&G investment & fails to incentivise renewables that can both reduce bills and tackle the climate crisis.
It is another missed opportunity to shape a clean green economy for the future.
We need a #DirtyProfitsTax

The situation is worse than what I picked up from his statement
It’s actually an 80% rebate on new investment by oil and gas industry to offset against their #WindfallTax liabilities
RT @GreenPartyMolly: Chancellor has announced he is giving a 30% bonus for all investments by oil and gas companies
He does not specify that this limited to investment in renewables
Unless it is this is driving the climate crisis not countering …

RT @Tom___Scott: Key point that's being missed about Rishi Sunak's Energy Profits Levy (#WindfallTax) on oil & gas profits: companies will be able offset investment in new fossil fuel extraction against their taxable profit. That's exactly what they'll do.
This tax is highly damaging to climate.
