To continue supporting people with the cost of living, the Government is maintaining the rates of fuel duty at the current levels for a further 12 months by extending the temporary 5p cut and cancelling the planned increase in line with inflation, saving the average car driver £50 in 2024-25.
This freeze represents a tax cut worth over £3.1 billion.
This support is being maintained at a time when many other European countries have ended their fuel duty cuts: it represents around £13 billion of support over the three years from the cut being introduced.
