In 2024, the forecasted tax expenditure on natural gas in the UK is stable at 0.19% of GDP, as was in 2023. The projection remains constant through 2025 before declining to 0.18% in 2026 and 2027, and further to 0.17% by 2028. This indicates a gradual decrease in fiscal allocation towards natural gas over the forecast period, with a compound annual growth rate revealing a steady reduction.
Future trends to watch for:
- Policies promoting renewable energy could further reduce tax expenditure on natural gas.
- Potential economic fluctuations impacting GDP and energy markets may influence future budgets.
- Technological advancements in energy efficiency may accelerate this decreasing trend.
