In 2023, the UK's tax expenditure on fossil fuel production stood at an unspecified value, while forecast data from 2024 to 2028 projects a consistent increase, starting at $7.01 billion in 2024 and rising to $7.87 billion by 2028. This represents a steady year-on-year growth, with percentage increases expected to gradually rise from 2024 until 2028.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The continued impact of policy changes on the fossil fuel industry's tax benefits.
- Global shifts towards renewable energy which may affect these expenditures.
- Adjustments within the UK's fiscal and environmental strategies that could influence these forecasts.
