According to recent information, even with the rights at maximum values, the Government maintains the additional tax rate on Petroleum Products in the State Budget for 2022.
According to the document, "In 2022, the additional tax rate on petroleum and energy products remains in force, in the amount of 0.007 euros per liter for gasoline and in the amount of 0.0035 euros per liter for diesel and for colored and marked diesel”.
Regarding the increases, the Government approved last Friday a law that allows the correction of maximum marketing margins for simple legacies and bottled LPG. Matos Fernandes, Minister of Environment and Climate Action, explained that this measure "will allow the Government to intervene in a portion of the correction of package prices, as precedents of the former sellers", but that "the price of packages is essentially corrected for the price of the primary good, which is oil" and " then no government has the capacity to intervene”.
