The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) published its fuel duties forecast as part of its Economic and fiscal outlook in March 2021. This set out that fuel duties are estimated to reach £26.0bn in 2021-22.

Monthly profiles were subsequently published for 2021-22 and estimate that £12.6bn would be received up to the end of quarter 2 (April-September).

An updated annual forecast is expected to be published by the OBR on Wednesday 27 October.
