On September 21, the representative of the Cabinet of Ministers of Germany Sebastian Hille said that the German government agreed on measures to curb fuel prices and decided to reduce from October 1 to the end of 2026 the energy tax on fuel by 14 euro cents. Taking into account VAT, which in this case is also reduced, the fuel tax discount will total about 17 cents per liter. The total package of measures to support citizens and the economy is 2.5 billion euros.
The sharp rise in fuel prices in Germany began after the escalation of the conflict over Iran. In response, German authorities temporarily introduced a so-called fuel discount, which provided for a 17 cent per liter reduction in gasoline and diesel taxes in May and June. Its action ceased on July 1. The Bundestag approved it on April 24 to curb rising prices. Gas station operators in Germany were only allowed to raise prices once a day. Germany from October 1, will introduce a discount on gasoline amid the energy crisis in the EU
