Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what distributional analysis his Department has undertaken on the impact of the reduction in fuel duty announced in the Spring Statement 2022.

The government has published a tax information and impact note on the fuel duty changes announced at Spring Statement. This includes the impacts on individuals, households, and families, as well as those that share protected characteristics. It is noted that this measure has potential to impact up to an estimated 36 million individuals by reducing motoring costs, subject to how much they drive, relative to fuel duty rates remaining unchanged.

Alongside the Spring Statement, the government has also published distributional analysis on the estimated impact of tax changes (including fuel duty) for households. This can be viewed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spring-statement-2022-documents
