Gradual removal of the reduced excise rate on off-road diesel (excluding agriculture)
Article 94 of the 2024 Finance Act phases in the alignment of the reduced excise rate on off-road diesel (GNR) with the road diesel rate. The rate rises from €18.82/hl to €24.81/hl on 1 January 2024, then by €5.99/hl each 1 January until 2029; the reduced rate is abolished on 1 January 2030. The separate reduced rate for agricultural and forestry work is covered in another entry.
