Busch on lowering gasoline and diesel taxes: Plan remains firm

The tax on gasoline and diesel will be reduced as planned, despite the rapid fall in oil prices following the announcement of a ceasefire in Iran. Minister for Energy and the Economy Ebba Busch (KD) announced this on Wednesday.

On March 23, the government and the SD announced that taxes on gasoline and diesel will be reduced from May 1 until the end of September to counteract the high energy prices resulting from the conflict involving Iran.

The reduction will be implemented despite the fact that oil prices fell significantly on Wednesday. But Ebba Busch notes that there is nothing to indicate the situation has been finally resolved or that it will be stable.

The plan is set. We need to support households in this turbulent and uncertain situation, Busch says.
