🚛 VAT & Excise Q&A #1

One of the questions we hear most often from transport companies:
"Should we choose a Fast or Standard Fuel Excise Duty Refund?"

The answer depends mainly on your cash flow needs.

A faster refund can significantly improve working capital and help businesses reinvest sooner, while a standard refund remains a reliable and cost-effective option for companies with less urgent cash requirements.

👉 Which option would suit your business best?

🚨 UPDATE Fuel prices surge: Spain takes action. Who’s next?

Facing rising prices driven by the war in Iran, Spain has launched a €5B emergency plan under Pedro Sánchez.

👉 Key decision: fuel VAT cut from 21% to 10%

> Immediate impact:
SP95: €1.80 ➝ €1.51/L
Diesel: €1.90 ➝ €1.67/L
➡️ Up to €16 saved per tank

> Beyond fuel: a real energy shield
VAT on electricity & gas reduced to 10%
Electricity tax cut to 0.5%

> Important shift for businesses (transport, logistics, agriculture):
Excise duty refund on commercial diesel suspended (from €0.049/L ➝ €0/L)
Replaced by a direct state aid of €0.20/L
No extra admin: paid via existing refund system

🇮🇹 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗯 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀

Facing ongoing fuel price volatility, the Italian government has introduced emergency measures under Decree-Law No. 33/2026.

👉 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴?

• 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘀: Suppliers must publish daily prices, and retailers can no longer increase prices within the same day. Authorities will closely monitor the market to detect abnormal price spikes and investigate potential speculation.

• 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝘅 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳: Fuel excise duties are significantly reduced for 20 days, leading to an estimated ~€0.25/l drop on diesel — immediate relief for businesses.

• 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀: A tax credit will compensate Italian-based operators for increased fuel costs between March and May.

• 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Up to 20% of fuel expenses covered.

⏱️ These measures are already in force, with anti-speculation rules planned for an initial 3-month period.

💡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻?
Short-term relief is here — but it also confirms how volatile and regulated the fuel market has become across Europe.

🛑 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘆
Following the Hungarian government's recent decision to reintroduce 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘀 ("protected prices"), significant changes have hit the excise tax landscape.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀:

• 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Please note that the "protected prices" at the pump are exclusively available for vehicles with Hungarian license plates.

• 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The excise tax on diesel and petrol has been lowered to the EU minimum level.

• ⚠️ 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Due to the implementation of the price cap and the resulting fiscal adjustments, the payout of excise duty refund claims submitted by foreign entities is currently suspended from the 𝟭𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝘆.

• ⚠️ 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: According to the NAV (National Tax and Customs Administration) 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱𝘀. Claims filed concerning year 2025 or for period 01/01/2026–09/03/2026 should therefore be refunded without any problem.

This suspension poses a serious challenge for international transport and logistics companies, as excise duty refunds are often vital for maintaining healthy cash flow and liquidity.

FastVAT will closely monitor official updates from its trusted partner and the NAV regarding the resumption of payments.
