Why is it interesting? The Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, has recently enacted legislation to increase the excise tax on fuel. This law sets the excise rates at EUR 359 per 1,000 liters for gasoline, EUR 330 for diesel, and EUR 70 for gas. The tax hike will be implemented gradually over the next four years, beginning on September 1, and continuing until 2028. This development promises to significantly influence fuel prices and availability, making it a crucial area of interest for both consumers and industry stakeholders. |
