Reduction of excise duty rates for motor spirits extended

The Government has announced that the reduced excise and excise-equivalent duty rate on motor spirits will be extended until 31 January 2023.


This temporary reduction of motor spirits duty started on 15 March 2022 initially for a period of 3 months, and was extended for an additional two month period until 15 August 2022.  It brought the excise and excise-equivalent duty rate on motor spirits down to 45.024 cents per litre.

The Working Tariff Document and the Excise and Excise-equivalent Duties Table will reflect these rates.
