The energy regulator is facing a legal test ahead of Friday’s pump price review following a court order that froze the doubling of Value Added Tax (VAT) on fuel to 16 percent.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) will on Friday announce the new prices that will be in force until August 14, with consumers keen to see if VAT will be lowered to eight percent in line with a court order.
