Fjerner drivstoffavgift fra 1. januar 2023

The government's proposal to remove the basic duty on mineral oil from 1st January 2023 has been approved by the Parliament. This is a historic tax cut that will particularly benefit the construction and civil engineering industry. In addition, reduced road usage charges contribute to a reduction in fuel duties, also for households. These tax changes contribute to pulling fuel pump prices down. In total, the total fuel duties are reduced by approximately NOK 2.2 billion, after the increase in CO2 duties is included. The road usage charge on fuel is reduced by a total of NOK 1.88 billion. Higher CO2 duty in road traffic increases the state's revenues by NOK 1.26 billion. The net tax reduction on fuel in road traffic is therefore just over NOK 600 million. The removal of the basic duty on mineral oil represents a relief of NOK 1.95 billion. Higher CO2 duty for non-road machines increases the state's revenues by NOK 390 million, including the new rate for quota-liable. The net tax reduction on fuel for non-road machines (agricultural and construction machines and industry) is therefore approximately NOK 1.56 billion.
