Israel's Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has approved a plan by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to reduce the excise tax on fuel, a move expected to lower the price at the pump. The decision follows Smotrich's proposal to decrease the tax, which he argued would provide economic relief.
The reduction in excise tax is anticipated to lead to a decrease in the retail price of gasoline. While the exact amount of the reduction has not yet been specified, the move is seen as a measure to ease the financial burden on consumers and businesses, particularly in light of fluctuating global energy prices.
This approval comes after a period of consideration by the Attorney General's office, which reviewed the legal and economic implications of the proposed tax cut. The Ministry of Finance has been pushing for such measures to stimulate the economy and provide tangible benefits to the public.
