It's a nightmare trying to find all the taxes in question but these seem to them:

There are a number of them. It seems that only one, adding £8, is a specific implementation of EU policy (Permits to pollute). There are a number of policies there which certainly could be cut, as could the 5% VAT on fuel. If the Government isn't doing it then it's either because they don't want too or are being blocked by the Liberal Democrats.
