Swedish fuel taxes rise again, gasoline up a krona and diesel by 40 öre
Sweden will increase the gasoline tax by one krona per litre and diesel by 40 öre, ending a temporary reduction introduced earlier this year.
Effective Thursday, the government will raise the tax on gasoline by one krona per litre, while diesel will see a 40 öre increase. This marks the first reversal of the temporary fuel-tax cut that was implemented in the spring. Drivers are being urged to fill up before the change takes effect.
Why it matters
Higher fuel taxes will increase travel costs for Swedish drivers and affect the broader economy.
