Conclusion
The transition to cleaner vehicles in the UK will reduce the demand for petrol and diesel and thus affect the amount of fuel duty raised. In November 2020, government announced its ambition to stop the sale of new cars that are powered solely by petrol or diesel by 2030.24 The government also said that as the UK transitions to electric vehicles the government needed to ensure that revenue from motoring taxes keeps pace with the change, to ensure it could continue to fund public services and infrastructure.25
