The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) publishes revenue forecasts for all Government taxes. The most recent forecast covers the financial years 2020-21 to 2024-25. For Fuel Duty, revenue is forecast to be £27.5 billion in 2020-21, £28.1 billion in 2021-22, £30.5 billion in 2022-23, £31.2 billion in 2023-24 and £31.7 billion in 2024-25. These figures can be found in Table 3.3 on https://obr.uk/efo/economic-and-fiscal-outlook-march-2020/.

The OBR has not published forecasted tax revenues beyond 2024-25.
