Fuel Oil: VAT
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what was the total VAT revenue from a). domestic and b). commercial heating oil sales in FY2024-25.
Answered by Dan Tomlinson
HM Revenue and Customs does not hold information on VAT revenue from specific products or services. This is because businesses are not required to provide figures at a product level within their VAT returns, as this would impose an excessive administrative burden.
VAT is chargeable at the reduced rate of 5% on domestic fuel and power. Business consumers of energy may reclaim VAT on their purchases of energy subject to normal VAT deduction rules.
