The purpose of this legislation is to amend the Excise Tax Law of 2026, in order to extend the period of application of the reduced excise tax rates imposed on specific categories of motor fuels.
The existing reduced rates were set to expire on June 30, 2026, but the new amendment ensures that the measure will remain in effect for another two months.
