Finance Bill 2026

Public bill · Government · Presented

Finance Bill 2026 changes a few fuel taxes and delays planned tax increases. It raises the diesel rebate for qualifying road hauliers for the first half of 2026, keeps some fuel tax cuts in place for longer, and pushes back rises in carbon taxes on fuels, natural gas and solid fuels until mid-October 2026. In practice, it is meant to ease costs for transport operators, motorists and households using heating fuel or gas, while the Government still plans those tax increases later.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to provide for the imposition, repeal, remission, alteration and regulation of taxation, and of duties relating to excise and otherwise to make further provision in connection with finance.
