Fuel Duty Freeze in the UK: What It Means for Drivers in 2025-26 | MTA

The UK’s ongoing fuel duty freeze has major implications for millions of drivers, businesses, and families — but what does it really mean for the future? In this video, MTA (My Tax Accountant) breaks down the impact of the fuel duty freeze, how long it may last, and what UK motorists should expect as the government balances environmental policies, taxation pressures, and the rising cost of living.

We explore why the fuel duty freeze has remained in place for over a decade, how it affects petrol and diesel prices, and why future governments may face increasing pressure to reconsider it. MTA explains how the freeze influences public finances, HMRC revenues, and long-term climate commitments, as well as how it interacts with wider motoring taxes such as Vehicle Excise Duty, company car tax, and the emerging push toward electric vehicles.
This video is also fully optimised for UK viewers searching about Excepted Estates and Inheritance Tax in 2025-26. While fuel duty may appear unrelated to estate planning, changes in vehicle taxation and rising motoring costs can influence decisions around asset ownership, business vehicle structures, and the long-term value of estates. MTA highlights how vehicle-related tax changes can indirectly affect inheritance planning and financial decisions for 2025-26.

We also discuss what could replace fuel duty in the future, including potential road pricing schemes, mileage-based taxation, or EV-specific levies. Whether you’re a daily commuter, business fleet owner, or someone preparing long-term financial plans, understanding the implications of the fuel duty freeze is essential for anticipating future UK tax policy.
