Fuel duty is paid on hydrocarbon oil when it is released for consumption in the UK, either from a UK refinery or an excise warehouse. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) does not collect data about the location where the tax liability arose. HMRC therefore does not hold the data to produce reliable regional estimates.

Fuel duty receipts for the whole of the UK are published by HMRC, and are available in the Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletin:

HMRC also publishes an estimate of fuel duty receipts for each of the countries in the UK, which is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/disaggregation-of-hmrc-tax-receipts

National VED revenues are published in the annual Budget report. Figures for fiscal years 2014-15 and 2015-16 can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/508193/HMT_Budget_2016_Web_Accessible.pdf

For fiscal year 2013-14, the figures are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416330/47881_Budget_2015_Web_Accessible.pdf

The Government has no plans to publish either Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) or fuel duty revenues by NUTS 1 region.
