The cut returns after a break
The excise cut on gasolio is again in force from 28 October and will last until 7 November 2026 (Nuovo taglio delle accise fino al 7 novembre, circa 4,9 centesimi sul gasolio – ANSA) (Ritorna il taglio delle accise. Sconto di 4,9 cent sul gasolio da oggi al 7 novembre - la Repubblica – repubblica.it). As motoring media report, the relief amounts to about 4 cents per liter (Taglio accise diesel: nuovo sconto fino al 7 novembre 2026 – newsauto.it). Previously, for over three weeks, drivers did not have such support at the pump.
How the rate changes
The basis is an interministerial decision of the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Environment of 27 October. The excise rate on diesel oil falls from 672.90 to 632.90 euros per thousand liters. Converted into złoty, the difference corresponds to roughly 4.9 cents per liter, as reported by Italian media.
Where the money comes from
The government financed the relief with 38.7 million euros from the surplus of VAT revenue recorded in September. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni indicated that total additional VAT revenue amounted to about 170 million euros.
Eni and Q8 price caps
At the government's request, the Eni concern has extended its fuel price cap until the end of 2026. The maximum price of gasolio is to be 2.19 euros per liter, including the excise cut, and of petrol 1.99 euros per liter. The Q8 network applies its own variable price cap. The price cap operates separately from the excise duty: the first sets the upper limit at the pump, the second lowers the tax.
What next
It is not yet known whether the discount will be extended after 7 November. The decision will require another official decree.
