The Portuguese government has increased the extraordinary discount on the Special Consumption Tax (ISP) for road fuels, raising the rebate to €30.34 per 1,000 liters for diesel and €35.13 for unleaded gasoline.
The adjustment was announced on Friday, marking a further escalation in state intervention to cushion retail fuel prices.
This policy move directly impacts the final pump price for consumers and fleet operators in Portugal.
By increasing the tax rebate, the government effectively subsidizes the cost of fuel, offsetting a portion of the underlying crude oil price volatility.
The differential between the diesel and gasoline rebates suggests a targeted approach to balancing costs across different vehicle segments, with gasoline receiving a slightly higher per-liter discount.
The decision comes as part of an ongoing effort to manage energy affordability.
