Fuel Tax Credit
Fuel tax credit rates change regularly. They are indexed twice a year, in February and August, in line with the consumer price index (CPI).
Rates may also change in July for fuel used in a heavy vehicle for travelling on public roads. This is due to changes to the road user charge, which is reviewed annually. In July, rates also change due to an annual increase in excise duty rates on bio fuels.
