On 1 June, the mineral oil tax rates will increase on a VAT-inclusive basis by 6 cent, 5 cent and 1 cent per litre for each of petrol, diesel and MGO, respectively. With regard to the Opposition amendments, amendment No. 5, tabled by Deputy Doherty, seeks a review of the rate of mineral oil tax applied to other heavy oil, MGO, petrol and diesel by June 2023, and a review of mineral oil tax applied to non-propellant uses of kerosene by 31 October 2023.
The resolution provides for staggered increases in the excise rate to be applied that will increase the price of petrol by 6 cent per litre in June, by 7 cent in September and by 10 cent in October and the price of diesel by 5 cent in June, 5 cent in September and 8.5 cent in October. White diesel went up to €2 and €2.20, but if we go back before the war, green diesel was 38 cent per litre and white diesel was about €1.20 per litre.
