The government of Italy is set to reduce excise duties on fuels starting Wednesday to mitigate the impact of rising energy costs on families and businesses. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini announced the plan following a meeting with representatives from major petrol station networks, noting that a cabinet meeting was scheduled for later in the day to finalize the package.
The relief effort is designed as a one-month pilot scheme funded by the increased value-added tax (VAT) revenue collected due to higher fuel prices.
