Reduction of Fuel Consumption Tax Starting April 1
March 26, 2026
The government announces a reduction in the special consumption tax on fuel by 8.33 cents per liter, effective from April 1 until June 2026. This reduction applies to gasoline and diesel, aimed at alleviating costs for consumers. The average price of gasoline is expected to stabilize at €1.43 per liter and diesel at €1.67. This intervention was deemed necessary due to significant recent price increases. While international prices remain high, the government's action provides some relief to citizens.
