- Poland published regulations temporarily cutting VAT on motor fuels to 8% from 3 Oct. 2026 to 31 Dec. 2026; the Ministry of Finance estimates the budget impact at about PLN 3.24 billion.
- The temporary VAT cut is expected to reduce tax revenues by over PLN 2.12 billion in 2026 and over PLN 1.1 billion in 2027.
- A separate regulation reduces excise duty on motor fuels for the same period (3 Oct. 2026–31 Dec. 2026), with an estimated revenue loss of about PLN 2.1 billion.
- The excise reduction is expected to lower state revenue by PLN 1.4 billion in 2026 and PLN 700 million in 2027.
- The fuel price cap is part of the government’s “Ceny Paliwa Niżej” package, which was triggered by a new law introducing a temporary windfall tax on excess profits of fuel companies for income earned from 1 Mar. 2026 through the end of Q1 2027.
