What it means for you
If you farm or drive for a living, diesel will cost more in the coming years. The excise could rise by about 73% by 2029 compared with 2026. The final pump price also depends on oil prices, the exchange rate and the oil companies' pricing.
What happened
The government rejected an amendment that would have refunded excise on diesel used by agricultural producers. It proposes raising the excise by over 20% in 2027 and by about 73% by 2029, compared with 2026. Support for farmers will come through other tools, through the Agency for Intervention and Payments for Agriculture (AIPA).
In short
- A rise of over 20% in diesel excise is planned for 2027.
- Cumulatively, diesel excise could be about 73% higher by 2029 than in 2026.
- The increase is needed, according to the government, to align with minimum EU tax levels.
- The opinion does not specify the amount of compensation AIPA could pay or when it would be paid.
