I don’t currently have live tools available in this turn to pull the latest Hydrocarbon Oil Duty news. However, I can summarize recent public information and point you to likely sources you can check for the latest updates.
What Hydrocarbon Oil Duty covers
- Hydrocarbon Oil Duty is the UK excise duty applied to hydrocarbon oils, including diesel and petrol, with periodic policy changes such as rate changes or temporary cuts that affect receipts and clearance data.[1][6]
What counts as “latest” can include:
- Provisional or updated receipts data for recent quarters (often published as a Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletin).
- Any temporary duty reductions or surcharges implemented by government orders or legislation.
- Updates to statutory instruments that adjust duty liabilities or rebates.
Where to look for the newest information
- UK government Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletin (statistics and commentary for the latest quarter), typically published by HM Revenue & Customs or the government statistics office. These bulletins include notes on receipts, clearances, and any policy impulses such as temporary reductions.[1]
- Legislation.gov.uk for any new orders or statutory instruments altering hydrocarbon oil duties, including surcharges or rebates, and their effective dates.[2][3][6]
- Related official pages aggregating policy context, such as summaries of the Hydrocarbon Oil Duties Act and amendments, which can influence current duty levels or rebates.[6][7]
If you’d like, I can:
- Narrow to a specific jurisdiction (UK-wide vs. devolved administrations) and provide a quick, up-to-date briefing by pulling the latest bulletins and SI texts.
- Extract key figures (e.g., latest receipts, changes in diesel vs petrol receipts) from the most recent bulletin and summarize them in a compact bullet list.
Would you like me to fetch the most recent Hydrocarbon Oils Bulletin and any new statutory instruments related to Hydrocarbon Oil Duty for you? If yes, tell me whether you want UK-wide only or include any devolved administration updates as well.
