A year longer
The intended new cabinet of PVV, VVD, NSC and BBB wants to hold on to the still partially applicable excise duty reduction for longer.
The main agreement of the forming parties already stated that they wanted to ‘keep an eye’ on people who drive fuel cars. In any case, this is reflected in the plan to curb prices at the pump for a little longer. The financial substantiation of the plans shows that the parties are committed to an extension of the excise duty reduction. This should remain in effect until January 1, 2026. Almost 1.54 billion euros are being allocated for this.
Initially, the excise duty reduction introduced in 2022 was going to be completely reversed with effect from this year, but the last part that had not yet been reversed was left alone by the outgoing cabinet for another year. It would be over on January 1, 2025 and you would then effectively have to pay a quarter more per liter of petrol, but now the current excise duties will have to remain for another year.
