The fuel tax cut ends in late June. For fuel leaving the storage depot or refinery from July 1, the old, higher tax applies again. Including VAT, that adds up to nearly 17 cents per liter.

Alongside the end of the fuel tax cut, July brings other changes: flight tickets could become cheaper, while pensions and minimum wages for care workers rise.
