This is a tool that calculates the UK taxes on fuel and displays the results in a table.

In more detail, the results table shows the cost of each relevant fuel type, per litre and per specified amount, and how much of this cost is VAT, how much is duty and, thus, how much in total is tax. In addition, the combined fuel cost and taxes are displayed.

There are four fuel types shown: unleaded petrol, diesel, biodiesel and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).

Each relevant fuel type requires the following compulsory information:

• The amount of fuel in litres.
• The average price of the fuel in pence per litre.

The data (e.g. duty rates) used by this tool was obtained primarily from...

The standard rate of VAT is 20% (increased on 4 January 2011).
