Sweden Proposes Further Temporary Petrol and Diesel Tax Cuts to Counter Rising Fuel Prices

  • The Swedish Ministry of Finance has proposed a further temporary reduction in petrol and diesel taxes due to rising fuel prices.
  • The tax cut would reduce carbon dioxide tax by SEK 2.40 per litre from 1 July to 30 November 2026.
  • The measure responds to fuel price increases caused by geopolitical instability, specifically conflicts in the Middle East and a war in Iran.
  • The proposal is part of a broader framework that already reduced fuel taxes to the EU minimum from 1 May to 30 September 2026.
  • Legislative changes will be implemented in stages starting 1 July, 1 October, and 1 December 2026.
