Spritpreise: Regierung hat Tankrabatt auf den Weg gebracht
Zum 1. Oktober soll das Tanken billiger werden. Die Bundesregierung hat dazu nun entsprechende Beschlüsse gefasst.
In Berlin, the federal government is pushing ahead with a plan to introduce a rebate on fuel prices. A spokesman for the government revealed that the Cabinet has decided to proceed with the legislation via the deliberative procedure. From October 1st to December 31st, the energy tax on diesel and gasoline will be reduced by approximately 14 cents per liter.
After accounting for the value-added tax, this translates to an average relief of up to 17 cents per liter at the pump. The Finance Ministry estimates that the government will receive 2.485 billion euros less in taxes as a result. The states are tasked with bearing half of this amount. The objective of the rebate is to mitigate the significant increase in prices at the pumps since the Iran war.
A similar rebate was implemented in May and June, which effectively dampened the prices. However, the oil companies did not fully pass on the tax reduction to consumers.
