The
Government Cut
A daily snapshot illustrating exactly how much of a 60L fill-up goes to taxes vs. the retailer.
Tax Breakdown
Based on a 60L fill-up of Petrol (E10) at 170.9p
Today, the Government is taking 47.6% of your fill-up.
Why does the government take more when prices rise?
While Fuel Duty is a fixed rate (currently 52.95p per litre), VAT is charged at 20% on the total price of your fuel—including the duty itself! This means that whenever wholesale fuel prices or retailer margins increase, the government's VAT take automatically increases alongside it.
