HC Deb 23 May 2000 vol 350 c419W
Mr. Loughton

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much revenue has been raised from(a) tax and (b) VAT on road fuels in each of the last five financial years. [123479]

Mr. Timms

The amount of excise duty raised on road fuels for the last five years is published in Table K2 of "HM Customs and Excise Annual Report 1998–1999". The estimated amount of VAT raised on road fuels can be calculated from the amount of household expenditure on petrol and derv. This is shown in Table 6.1 of "Consumer Trends", published by the Office for National Statistics.
