El Gobierno defiende que el descuento fiscal a los carburantes se ha trasladado con rapidez a los surtidores

The Spanish government defends the rapid transfer of the fiscal discount on fuels to the fuel pumps. The third package of aid deployed to cope with the energy crisis received green light to continue operating until the end of the year. The Permanent Deputation of the Congress validated on Friday the decree law containing it, which includes one of the star measures of the anti-crisis shield: the fiscal reduction on gasoline and diesel.

Economy Minister and first vice president of the Government, Carlos Cuerpo, assured that 24 hours after the decree was approved in the Council of Ministers - on September 30th - "82% of gas stations had already transferred the entire tax reduction to the pump price." "This, of course, is a direct saving for consumers: nearly 60% in the case of gasoline, for example, or 40% in the case of diesel," he said this Friday, explaining the content of the decree to the deputies.
