- Sweden’s Ministry of Finance has proposed a further temporary fuel tax cut in draft bill Fi2026/01131, published 13 May 2026.
- The proposal would lower the carbon dioxide tax on petrol and diesel by SEK 2.40 per litre from 1 July to 30 November 2026.
- The measure is meant to offset higher fuel prices linked to geopolitical conflict, including the Middle East crisis / war in Iran.
- It builds on an earlier temporary reduction to the EU minimum tax level for petrol and diesel from 1 May to 30 September 2026.
- Related changes to agricultural diesel tax are also planned for 1 July to 31 December 2026, with entry into force in stages on 1 July, 1 October, and 1 December 2026.
