The British government plans to cancel the planned increase in fuel duty.

British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak plans to announce next week a delay in the scheduled increase in fuel duty for motor vehicles set for September this year. The temporary reduction in fuel duty policy, which began in 2022, is set to expire in September, after which the price of fuel per liter will increase by 5 pence. Previous UK governments have extended this tax-cutting policy multiple times, with the most recent extension announced in last November's annual budget.
