Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of changes to transport-related taxation at the Autumn Budget 2026 on (a) motorists, (b) road haulage operators, (c) bus and coach operators, (d) airlines, (e) airports and (f) maritime operators.

Decisions made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Budget have benefitted transport users and operators. In particular, the fuel duty freeze has been extended again, and the planned inflation increase deferred, both to July 2027. Taken together, the Government’s decisions on fuel duty since 2024 are expected to provide significant savings across the transport sector. This includes saving the average car driver £230, the average light goods driver £472 and the average heavy goods vehicle driver nearly £4,000, compared with plans under the previous government, and means petrol and diesel will be 15p per litre cheaper from April 2027.

The Government publishes assessments of Budget impacts through Tax Information and Impact Notes (TIINs), available at:

www.gov.uk/government/collections/tax-information-and-impact-notes-tiins.

The latest TIINs were published as part of the Budget 2026 announcement to provide an assessment of the impacts of individual measures.
