Il Sole 24 OreParty-aligned🔒CenterFactual 88Objective 82yesterday Fuels, cutting excise duty on diesel only.The Italian government is considering targeted measures to reduce fuel prices by focusing on diesel rather than gasoline. The proposed decree aims to bring down diesel prices, which have reached levels similar to March 2022, below the psychological threshold of €2 per liter. Gasoline remains at €1.982 per liter, slightly above the annual average but still below the critical level, hence not included in the measure. The decision reflects differing trends in price movements between the two fuels over recent weeks. The exact figures remain under review ahead of the Council of Ministers meeting, with potential adjustments based on available resources. This move is part of a broader strategy to manage fuel costs before the anticipated 'red sticker' week in August, following previous spending of around €2 billion to control pump prices.

Il Sole 24 OreParty-aligned🔒CenterFactual 85Objective 80yesterday Fuels, that's how much the excise tax cut on diesel and gasoline could be worth.Fuel prices at Italian gas stations have risen sharply until Saturday, though they stabilized slightly between yesterday and today, partly due to declining oil prices following signs of a potential ceasefire in the Middle East. Gasoline has exceeded 1.98 euros per liter, reaching its highest level since October 5, 2023, while diesel has reached 2.18 euros per liter, close to its peak of 2.229 euros recorded on March 17, 2022, which prompted the Draghi government to reduce excise taxes. On July 27, the average price for self-service gasoline along national roads was 1.982 euros per liter, up 14 thousandths compared to Friday, while diesel averaged 2.185 euros per liter, up 24 thousandths. Data collected by Staffetta Quotidiana indicates that Q8 increased recommended prices by one cent per liter for gasoline and two cents for diesel, while Tamoil raised gasoline prices by two cents and diesel by three cents. Detailed data from approximately 20,000 gas stations across national and motorway networks show varying prices among different companies and station types.

The proposed measure aims to provide immediate relief ahead of the start of August, during which many citizens will begin their summer trips. The Ministry of Economy and Finance (Mef) has calculated additional tax revenue from July's extra VAT, which could be used to fund this initiative.

The intervention would initially target diesel, with potential future measures involving mobile taxes once more data becomes available. The government is also preparing to assess available funds during a cabinet meeting on August 4th and is awaiting access to EU funds by September.

ANSAIndependentCenter4 hr. ago From today, the diesel excise tax cut, the decrees in the Gazette.The Italian government has implemented a reduction in excise taxes on diesel fuel, effective from midnight today, as outlined in two decrees published in the Official Gazette. The measure reduces the excise tax by 17 cents per liter (including 14 cents in excise duty and 3 cents in reduced VAT), resulting in a savings of approximately 8.5 euros for a full tank of fuel. This discount applies until August 6, 2026, and is intended to alleviate rising fuel costs driven by geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf. The government chose to target diesel rather than gasoline because diesel traditionally costs more due to lower excise taxes aimed at supporting freight transportation. However, recent fiscal reforms sought to align excise rates between fuels, citing environmental concerns. Funding for this temporary relief comes from increased VAT revenue, Antitrust fines, and economic intervention funds.
