Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has ordered the advancement of a reduction in the excise tax on fuel, aiming to curb an anticipated rise in gasoline prices in the coming days. The move is intended to mitigate the impact of increasing global energy costs, exacerbated by ongoing tensions in Iran and their effect on the energy market, according to a statement from the Finance Ministry.
Professional discussions are currently underway within the ministry to determine the exact amount of the tax reduction and the mechanism for its implementation. Smotrich's office indicated that the minister intends to sign the relevant order promptly.
The goal is for the tax cut to take effect within days, thereby preventing, at least partially, the expected increase in the consumer price of gasoline.
