Tax expenditure on coal for consumers in the UK is projected to increase from $857.13 million in 2024 to $939.12 million in 2028, with a consistent annual growth pattern. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is reasonable. Compared to actual data from 2023, this forecast indicates an upward trajectory, highlighting increasing financial commitments to coal subsidies.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of decarbonization policies on coal demand and related tax expenditure.
Shifts in energy consumption patterns towards renewable sources affecting coal reliance.
Regulatory changes in energy taxation influencing market dynamics.
