GREEDY oil and gas firms must face an even bigger windfall tax after BP announced profits TRIPLE that of last year, Rishi Sunak has been urged.<\/p>\n

COP climate chief, Alok Sharma<\/a> piled fresh pressure on the PM and Chancellor to raise more money and actively encourage firms to invest more in renewables.<\/p>\n

COP climate chief Alok Sharma piled fresh pressure on the PM to actively encourage firms to invest more in renewables<\/figcaption>Alamy<\/figcredit><\/figure>\n

Mr Sharma, who was sacked from Cabinet last week<\/a> but kept his climate job, lashed out at the “excessive profits” being made this year thanks to spiralling energy costs.<\/p>\n

He said: “As I said last week, we need to raise more money from a windfall tax on oil and gas companies and actively encourage them to invest in #renewables.”<\/p>\n

The cost of living crisis<\/a>, soaring inflation<\/a> and a dire economic forecast means Britain has a whopping \u00a350billion hole in the public finances.<\/p>\n

Yesterday oil giant BP<\/a> announced a \u00a37.1billion profit<\/a> in the three months from July to September this year.<\/p>\n

BP boss panned for tone-deaf remarks as profits treble to 14-year high<\/p>\n

They hailed the “exceptional” performance of their gas trading arm.<\/p>\n

It is expected to pay nearly \u00a3700million in windfall taxes this year.<\/p>\n

Oil and gas firms already pay 30 per cent corporation tax on their profits – and an extra 10 per recent on top of that.<\/p>\n

But they have been able to slash their taxes by spending their cash in other ways – meaning in many years they have paid almost nothing in the UK.<\/p>\n

The new PM and Jeremy Hunt<\/a> are actively considering how to expand the windfall tax – which is an extra 25 per cent on profits made from extracting oil and gas.<\/p>\n

The Treasury says it will raise at least \u00a35million in its first year.<\/p>\n
