I don’t have live access to the latest updates right now. If you’d like, I can summarize what’s typically covered in Hydrocarbon Oils (fuel duty) bulletins and point you to where recent official data is published.
Key places to check for latest news and figures:
- UK HM Treasury and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletins, which provide provisional receipts, clearances, and notes on policy measures such as fuel duty cuts. Look for the latest bulletin covering July–December 2025 or subsequent periods [government: Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletin commentary July to December 2025].[1]
- Related bulletins for earlier periods (April–June 2025) to understand trends in receipts and the 5p per litre fuel duty reduction measure that started in March 2022 and has been extended in various Budgets [government: Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletin commentary April to June 2025].[2]
- Legislation and orders that affect hydrocarbon oil duties, including orders implementing surcharges or rebates and any changes to excise liabilities, e.g., The Excise Duties orders (UK) and the Hydrocarbon Oil Duties Act framework [legislation.gov.uk: 2022/365].[3][7]
- Wikipedia and policy databases may offer historical context on duty rate changes, but official gov.uk sources are primary for current figures and policy status [Wikipedia: Hydrocarbon Oil Duty].[4]
If you want, I can:
- Pull the latest official bulletin details and summarize the current 5p duty cut status, any changes to receipts, and notable trends.
- Create a concise brief with bullet points and citations to the exact government pages.
- Provide a short timeline of recent changes to hydrocarbon oil duties in the UK.
