Autumn Budget 2025 – Fuel Duty rates

tiemadmin • 27 November 2025

In the Autumn Budget, the Chancellor had been expected to increase fuel duty rates. However, she has extended the fuel duty cut for a further 6 months to help support households and businesses. 

The Chancellor said ‘ I know that the cost of travelling to and from work is still too expensive, so I am extending the 5p cut until September 2026. And because I know that changes in wholesale prices are not always passed onto motorists, I am bringing in new rules to mandate petrol forecourts to share real-time prices through a new Fuel Finder.’  

This means that the temporary cut in the rates of fuel duty introduced at Spring Statement in March 2022, and extended multiple times is to be extended for a further 6 months until 31 August 2026.

The planned inflation-based increase for 2026-27 will be cancelled. Together with the launch of Fuel Finder, these measures are expected to save families £89 next year compared to previous plans.
