Sweden Plans Temporary Fuel Tax Cuts to Ease Price Surge Amid Middle East Conflict

  • Sweden proposes temporary fuel tax cuts on petrol and diesel from May to September 2026 to offset rising prices due to Middle East conflict.
  • Tax reductions apply to various fuel classes, with special rates for agricultural and professional use.
  • The policy is expected to reduce government revenue by SEK 1.64 billion in 2026 and provide moderate savings for consumers.
  • The measure may slightly increase CO2 emissions but aims to support lower-income and rural households.
  • Tax rates will revert to indexed levels after the temporary period, with legislative changes phased in through 2027.
