Total Fuel Duty received from 2010 to 2019 was as follows. As HM Revenue and Customs does not request usage information within traders’ returns to avoid unnecessary admin burdens to business it is not possible to break these down by inland transport.

2010: £27.0 billion

2011: £26.9 billion

2012: £26.7 billion

2013: £26.7 billion

2014: £27.1 billion

2015: £27.4 billion

2016: £28.0 billion

2017: £28.0 billion

2018: £27.9 billion

2019: £27.8 billion

Total Fuel Duty revenue statistics are published within HM Revenue and Customs Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletin published every March, June, September and December at HMRC’s ‘UK Trade Info’ online portal.
