Autumn Statement 29 November 2011

Transport tax and duties

Fuel duty

The 3.02p per litre (ppl) fuel duty increase that was due to take effect on 1 January 2012 will be deferred to 1 August 2012, and the inflation increase that was planned for 1 August 2012 (currently expected to be worth 1.92ppl) will be cancelled. So there will only be one RPI increase next year. The details of the design of the fair fuel stabiliser will be published in the Budget 2012.

Rail fares

The increase to Transport for London and regulated rail fares will be limited to RPI plus 1% for one year from January 2012.

Air Passenger Duty

Air Passenger Duty (APD) will be extended to flights taken on business jets, effective from 1 April 2013. Details will be set out on 6 December 2011.
