UK Labour may end 5p fuel duty cut by March 2026 due to falling revenues and fiscal pressure.

The UK Labour government acknowledges the 5p fuel duty cut, set to expire in March 2026, may end, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves expected to decide its fate in the November 26 Autumn Budget. Facing declining fuel duty revenues due to rising electric vehicle use, the government is reviewing the policy amid fiscal pressures. A poll shows most Labour voters who drive want fuel duty frozen or reduced, but experts warn the tax shortfall may force a change. No final decision has been made, but ending the freeze is considered likely.
