Israel's Ministry of Finance has published a directive for public comment that would reduce the excise tax on gasoline by 50 agorot (approximately $0.14 USD) for a period of one month. The public comment period is set to conclude this coming Sunday. Following the review of any submitted feedback, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is expected to sign the order.
If signed, the tax reduction will take effect immediately upon the minister's signature. The price of gasoline at the pump will be updated at midnight between Sunday and Monday, reflecting the tax cut. The measure is intended to provide some relief at the pump for consumers.
