Briefings

Portugal's 2026 budget proposal maintains the same fuel tax structure despite rising prices, aiming to stabilize inflation through a 9% energy price forecast. The government plans to collect 3.79 billion euros in special consumption taxes, with 10 million euros from diesel and 30 million euros from gasoline allocated to environmental funds. Key figures include a 9.8% monthly price variation in December compared to September's 17.1%, and the government claims this aligns with EU average fuel tax levels.

Key points

• The budget proposal maintains the same fuel tax structure despite rising prices, aiming to stabilize inflation through a 9% energy price forecast.
• 10 million euros from diesel and 30 million euros from gasoline are allocated to environmental funds, with 3% of the value retained for collection.

Context

Portugal faces high fuel prices with the government maintaining the same tax structure despite rising costs. The budget aims to stabilize inflation through a 9% energy price forecast, aligning with EU average fuel tax levels.

Limitations

Budget figures are estimates subject to parliamentary approval; inflation data reflects September 2026 levels rather than current conditions; environmental fund allocations depend on final budget negotiations.
