Finance Minister Schillerová: Fuel margin controls and diesel tax cut to continue

Fuel margin regulation and the reduction of excise duty on diesel will continue in May, Finance Minister Alena Schillerová (ANO) announced on the social network X. According to her, the government approved the measure unanimously today. She did not provide further details, which are expected at a press conference.

“Together with margin monitoring, this is a proven package thanks to which drivers have saved up to 400 crowns on a full tank and will continue to save,” Schillerová said.

The government had planned to replace the measures from the beginning of May with a law regulating fuel prices, but it is not yet clear whether the bill will be signed by President Petr Pavel by Thursday.
