The Slovak Republic’s Parliament has accepted a proposal to consider the draft bill amending the Excise Duty Law on Mineral Oil on 17 January 2025.
The bill proposed lowering the excise duty on unleaded motor fuels (CN codes 2710 12 41, 2710 12 45, 2710 12 49) from EUR 514 to EUR 359 per 1000 litres.
The draft legislation also proposed reducing the excise duty on gas oil (diesel fuel) (CN codes 2710 19 43, 2710 19 46, 2710 19 47, 2710 19 48, 2710 20 11, 2710 20 16, and 2710 20 19) from the current rate of EUR 368 per 1,000 litres to EUR 330 per 1,000 litres.
This reduction will apply during a transitional period from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2026.
For a draft bill to become law, it must be passed by the parliament, approved by the President, and officially published in the Collection of Laws.
The changes are expected to go into force on 1 July 2025.
Earlier, on 18 June 2024, the Slovak parliament rejected two proposed laws to temporarily reduce VAT and excise duty rates on gasoline and diesel from 1 July 2024 to 31 December 2025.
