Government prepares new support for sectors affected by rising fuel prices

Diário de Leiria14 September 2026 at 19:00

The government is preparing new support for the sectors that are being affected by the rising fuel prices. This measure comes in response to the difficulties faced by various economic activities in the face of the constant increase in fuel prices.

Regarding a possible reduction of VAT on fuels, Minister Maria da Graça Carvalho did not take a definitive position on the matter. Instead, she deferred the decision on this issue to the prime minister, indicating that the responsibility for defining this fiscal policy belongs to the head of government.

Why this matters

Readers who work in sectors directly affected by rising fuel prices, such as transport and agriculture, need to know what support is being prepared and the current state of the debate on VAT. The minister's position of deferring the decision to the prime minister indicates that there is no internal consensus on the tax cut and that any relief may take time.
