Minister Domański announces reductions in fuel prices in Poland

It's already certain - fuel prices at Polish stations will be lower. Minister of Finance and Economy Andrzej Domański announced during a press conference in Milwaukee, on the sidelines of the G20 summit, that the government is ready to introduce reductions. Next week, prices at gas stations in Poland will finally be lower, Domański announced.

According to the minister, the reduction may amount to as much as PLN 1 per liter. I would like us to maintain this program at least until the end of this year, he added.

Delays by the president?

Minister Domański did not hide his disappointment with the attitude of the president, who - as he emphasized - delayed signing the law enabling fuel tax reductions. The president delayed signing the act completely unnecessarily for many, many weeks, because let me remind you that he could have signed the act much, much earlier and then prices at gas stations would have been lower for many weeks, said Domański.

Now, as the minister assures, the government does not intend to waste any time - after the publication of the act, the appropriate regulation will be signed immediately.

Reduction of taxes on fuel

What changes await drivers? The minister announced that both VAT and excise duty on fuel will be reduced. It is still a matter of very precise calculations, we have to be responsible for our words, but both VAT and excise duty will be reduced - explained Domański.

At the same time, the head of the Ministry of Finance and Economy emphasized that the situation on global fuel markets is still very tense, especially in connection with the events in the Strait of Hormuz. Therefore, the government wants the lower fuel price program to remain in force at least until the end of the year.
