The diesel tax rebate increases tomorrow to 20 cents.
Motor diesel will enjoy a hydrocarbon tax discount of 20 cents per liter starting on Tuesday, September 1, double that applied during the month of August (10 cents per liter), after this fuel increased in price by 15.7% in July.
The Spanish government's subsidy on diesel fuel will increase to 20 cents per liter starting September 1, up from the initially planned 5 cents, due to a 15.7% year-on-year price surge in July. This automatic adjustment was triggered by a safeguard clause in the country's anti-crisis plan, which activates when prices exceed a 15% threshold.
In contrast, the subsidy on gasoline will remain at 5 cents per liter as its price increase was below the threshold. The Economy Ministry stated that the mechanism is working as intended, protecting households where price pressure is greatest.
