Autumn Statement 2014: The government has confirmed that fuel duty will continue to remain frozen.
Chancellor George Osbourne cancelled the fuel duty increase planned for September in his 2014 Budget.
Overall, action on fuel duty since 2011 will save a company car driver around £675 by the end of 2015/16.
But the UK’s finances mean there will be a strong temptation to drive fuel taxes up again after next May. By closely managing fuel costs and mileage expenses to minimise their spending, fleets can maintain downward pressure on fuel prices and inoculate themselves against future bad news from the Treasury or OPEC.
