In recognition of high prices at the pump and the fact that fuel represents a major cost for households and businesses, including those in the road and haulage industry, the Chancellor announced at the Autumn Budget 2021 that fuel duty would remain frozen for a twelfth consecutive year.<\/p>
<\/p>
A freeze already represents a cut in real terms, and means that the average HGV tank will cost around £130 less in fuel duty, compared to what would have been paid under the pre-2010 escalator.<\/p>
<\/p>
All taxes, including fuel duty, remain under review.<\/p>"}
