Summary

The purpose of the bill is to ease the price pressure of energy carriers on Estonian consumers and companies caused by the Middle East crisis. As a result of the changed security situation and the resulting supply disruptions on the world market, the sharp rise in energy prices has created a new economic environment where the implementation of previously planned tax increases in their original form is not practical. The bill cancels excise duty rate increases planned for May 1, 2026 for motor fuels, i.e. gasoline and diesel fuel; for fuel oils and natural gas and electricity. The changes stem from the need to ensure economic stability in a situation where retail prices react quickly to global crises. Since the current price hike is due to supply-side constraints, the state's move is aimed at avoiding adding an additional tax burden. The change helps curb inflation and supports Estonian companies competitiveness in a situation where prices across the region are increasing
