1. Hydrocarbon Oils statistics notes

This Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletin has been updated with provisional data from April to June 2025. From 23 March 2022, a 5p reduction was introduced to fuel duties. Initially this was intended to last for 12 months but has been extended a further three times*. The 5p cut impacts receipts and clearances from April 2022 onwards. It is not possible to disaggregate impacts from this policy and other factors potentially impacting hydrocarbon oils.

This Bulletin will now be published every 6 months, in line with changes to HMRC statistics publications.

*Please note, the latest extension will cover the period March 2025 to March 2026 -

2. Headlines

The latest hydrocarbon oils headline statistics are:

• the provisional year-to-date (April to June) total for hydrocarbon oils receipts during the 2025 to 2026 financial year is 拢6,003 million, 拢88 million (1.4%) lower than the same period during the previous financial year

• the provisional previous quarter (April to June) total hydrocarbon oils receipts during the 2025 to 2026 financial year are 拢6,003 million, which is 拢88 million (1%) lower than the same period during the previous financial year

• total hydrocarbon oil receipts for 2024 decreased by 拢320 million (-1.28%) compared to 2023, primarily due to a 拢648 million (-4.16%) reduction in diesel receipts, which was partially offset by a 拢325 million (3.58%) increase in petrol receipts

3. About this release

National Statistics are . This HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) publication provides quarterly provisional National Statistics of receipts and quantities released for consumption for excise duty charged on fuels and oils.

Duty is charged when motor and heating fuels and oils are produced, imported or used in the UK. These statistics include data for hydrocarbon (mineral) oils, biofuels, fuel substitutes and fuel additives.

These statistics report trends for tax liabilities and payments (receipts) by hydrocarbon oil traders. This is done by reporting levels of goods made available for consumption after passing through a duty point, as this is the point at which duty is payable to HMRC.

The statistics in this release are based on data from recent and historic trader returns up to and including June 2025. Detailed statistics on clearances and receipts are provided in the accompanying tables.

4. Monthly hydrocarbon oils receipts

Total excise duty receipts are calculated by summing together excise duty receipts from all types of diesel, petrol, and other oils duties.

Figure 1: Total hydrocarbon oils receipts by month during the current and previous 2 financial years, in 拢 million.

Figure 1 demonstrates several trends for total hydrocarbon oils receipts:

• total hydrocarbon receipts for the period from October to December 2024 decreased by 拢214 million (-3%) compared to the same period in 2023. This decline was primarily driven by a 拢267 million (-7%) reduction in diesel receipts. While gas oil and petrol receipts increased by 拢13 million (28%) and 拢51 million (2%), respectively, the overall trend remains negative when compared to the previous year

• the hydrocarbon receipts for July 2023 (拢1,674 million) and August 2023 (拢2,546 million) show notable volatility. This anomaly is the result of a timing effect that temporarily affected reported receipts

5. Petrol and diesel excise duty receipts

5.1 Petrol excise duty

Total petrol excise duty receipts are calculated by summing together excise duty receipts from several different motor spirits, over 90% of which is unleaded petrol.

Figure 2: Petrol excise duty receipts by month during the current and previous 2 financial years, in 拢 million.

Figure 2 demonstrates several trends for petrol receipts:

• the provisional previous quarter (April 2025 to June 2025) total petrol receipts are 拢2,369 million, which is 拢64 million (3%) higher than the same period during the previous financial year

• provisional receipts for the quarter April 2024 to June 2024 are in line with receipts for the previous two financial years. In the subsequent quarter, receipts increased by approximately 7% compared to the same quarter in the previous financial year, indicating a positive trend during that period

5.2 Diesel excise duty

Total diesel excise duty receipts are calculated by summing together excise duty receipts from several different types of diesel.

Figure 3: Diesel excise duty receipts by month during the current and previous 2 financial years, in 拢 million.

Figure 3 demonstrates several trends for diesel receipts:

• the provisional previous quarter (April 2025 to June 2025) total diesel receipts are 拢3,570 million, which is 拢149 million (4%) lower than the same period during the previous financial year

5.3 Petrol and diesel excise duty comparison

Figure 4: Petrol and diesel excise duty receipts by month during the current and previous eight financial years, in 拢 million.

For the full dataset that accompanies Figure 4 go to Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletin tables (April 2025 to June 2025).

Figure 4 demonstrates the following trends for quarterly diesel and petrol receipts during the current and previous 8 financial years:

• the general decrease in Diesel Oil receipts from previous years can be in part explained by a growing number of consumers moving away from Diesel cars and towards Alternative Fuelled Vehicles (AFV) including Electric and Hybrid vehicles

• following volatility in the 2020 to 2021 financial year likely caused by economic impacts related to the coronavirus, receipts increased at the start of the 2021 to 2022 financial year and have remained at relatively stable levels since

• since the financial year ending 2017, petrol and diesel excise had plateaued until the first quarter of the 2020 to 2021 financial year which saw a large unseasonal decrease for both petrol and excise duty receipts, likely due to impacts from the coronavirus pandemic
