The Albanese Labor Government’s extension of fuel tax relief has now passed the Parliament, cutting the excise by 16 cents per litre for petrol and diesel for all of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re delivering more temporary and tapered support that will help take the sting out of petrol prices and help Australians with the cost of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will save Australian motorists around $11 on a 65-litre tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The excise cut will continue until 2 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are also cutting the Heavy Vehicle Road User Charge by 16 cents for the same period to help truckies keep Australia moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is about providing more responsible help with the cost of living because we know that while fuel prices have come down, Australians are still under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This extension of the fuel tax cut recognises there\u2019s still a lot of uncertainty in the Middle East and the global economy more broadly, and our action provides a graduated return to normal settings for the fuel excise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The additional relief we\u2019re providing means that from 1 July, we\u2019ll have more temporary help with the cost of living with this extension to the fuel tax cut, and more permanent help with the cost of living with another round of tax cuts for every taxpayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We thank the states and territories for contributing to the fuel tax cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We expect this cut to be passed on in full to motorists at the bowser and won\u2019t accept Australian consumers being treated like mugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is continuing to monitor fuel prices, backed by stronger penalties and additional resources for enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ACCC has already written to fuel retailers in light of this cut, putting them on notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether it\u2019s slashing the fuel tax, slashing the road user charge for truckies or tax cuts for every taxpayer, we\u2019re taking action to ease pressure on Australians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our economic plan is all about helping Australians with the cost of living, addressing inflation and making our economy more productive and resilient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
