HM Revenue and Customs publishes annual statistics on the cost of tax relief and expenditures. This information is available through the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tax-relief-statistics.

The Warm Homes Plan commits £15 billion of public investment over this Parliament to support the heat pump roll-out, retrofit for low-income households, and wider home decarbonisation measures.

The Government remains firmly committed to the Electric Vehicle (EV) transition, and we are investing over £7.5 billion out to 2035 to help drivers and the automotive sector make the switch.
