Poland’s Ministry of Finance announced, on 27 April 2026, that it has extended its fuel package tax cuts through 15 May 2025, offering continued relief to consumers as Middle East conflicts keep fuel markets volatile.

This follows the Finance and Economy Minister’s decision to maintain the reduced VAT rate of 8% on petrol, diesel, and biocomponent fuels, down from the standard 23%. This extension applies to all qualifying motor fuels until 15 May 2025.

Excise duty reductions will also remain in place until the mid-May deadline. Current rates are at the European Union’s minimum threshold: PLN 0.29 per litre for petrol and PLN 0.28 per litre for diesel.

The initial tax relief measures took effect on 30 March 2025 and were originally scheduled to expire on 30 April 2025.
