Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 1 March 2022.
Please give an estimate of the amount of fuel duty paid by London’s drivers.
Neither Transport for London (TfL) nor the Greater London Authority holds this information. Fuel duty is collected by the UK Government and data on this is not readily published. Unlike Vehicle Exercise Duty (VED), it is not a rate per vehicle, but a proportion of each litre of fuel (currently 58 pence petrol and diesel). This has been frozen since 2011/12. In 2019/20 it raised £28bn. This revenue is not ring-fenced for any specific use.
