SVT learns that the government will propose an increase in the reduction obligation in the autumn budget. The change is expected to take effect from 1 July 2025.
– Among other things, it is about domestic political reasons. The government, and above all the Moderates and Liberals, has been stressed by the criticism directed at it regarding increased emissions. Through this measure, they want to show that the government can also make decisions to reduce emissions, says Mats Knutson.
The fuel price
A higher reduction obligation is a clear departure from one of the Tidö parties’ most important election promises – above all for the voters of the Sweden Democrats and the Christian Democrats. Mats Knutson also points out that it will be a difficult educational task to convince voters of the rapid swing.
– Only at the turn of the year sharply lower the editorial duty and a few months later raise it a little more.
But the government still hopes to maintain the price at the pump by lowering fuel taxes further.
– But probably the diesel price will still increase by a few cents, says Mats Knutson.
