Lower tax burden does not stop fuel prices

Correio da Manhã15 September 2026 at 01:30

The reduction in the tax burden on fuels failed to stop the rise in fuel prices. This situation persists even after fiscal measures were implemented to mitigate the impact on consumers.

Diesel and gasoline quotations have been doubling. This significant increase directly affects the prices charged at fuel stations.

Transportation costs have also doubled as a consequence of the increase in fuel prices. This phenomenon affects the entire distribution and logistics chain.

The war in Ukraine is pointed out as the main cause for this doubling of prices, having significantly altered the global energy landscape.

Why this matters

Readers are directly affected by the increase in fuel prices, which impacts the cost of transporting goods and people, contributing to overall inflation. The doubling of quotations since the beginning of the war indicates that the fiscal measures adopted are insufficient to protect household purchasing power and business competitiveness.
