Spanish government lowers hydrocarbon taxes. Those near the border take advantage

TVI Notícias1 September 2026 at 22:43

The Spanish government reduced taxes on hydrocarbons, which caused a significant drop in the price of diesel. With this fiscal measure, fuel became considerably cheaper in Spain.

The price difference between the two countries is significant. A liter of diesel now costs 20 cents less in Spain than in Portugal, which represents a substantial saving for consumers.

This situation is motivating many Portuguese to cross the border to refuel. Residents in areas near Spain are the main beneficiaries of this price difference.

The article does not specify when the measure came into force or what the complete details of the fiscal reduction implemented by the Spanish government are.
