This is how much fuel prices will increase after the abolition of CPN. The Minister of Finance confirms

After three months of operation, the “Fuel Prices Lower” (CPN) package is now history. Let us recall that the aim of the solution introduced at the end of March was to protect consumers against the effects of the fuel crisis related to the war in the Middle East. The attack by the United States and Israel on Iran on February 28 resulted in an increase in global crude oil prices, as well as in the prices of finished fuels, which translated into retail prices of these products at gas stations, including in Poland.

End of CPN. How much will fuel prices increase?

As part of the package, the VAT rate on fuel dropped from 23 to 8 percent, and excise duty was reduced by 29 groszy for a liter of gasoline and 28 groszy for diesel oil, i.e. to the lowest level allowed by the European Union. An important element of CPN was also the introduction of price limits at gas stations. Every day, the Ministry of Energy published maximum rates for diesel fuel, as well as Pb95 and Pb98 unleaded gasoline.

The maximum fuel prices applicable today (June 30) are:

• unleaded petrol Pb95: PLN 6 per liter,

• unleaded petrol Pb98: PLN 6.68 per liter,

• diesel oil: PLN 6.19 per liter.

How much will fuel become more expensive after the abolition of CPN? This issue appeared in today’s interview with Polsat News, Minister of Finance and Economy Andrzej Domański. – Well, of course we’ll see, it’s different at different stations. We know that this variation between stations, even in one city, in one voivodeship, is often high, so of course these changes will be different at different stations. – said the head of the Ministry of Finance in “Graffiti” on Polsat News.

When asked whether experts’ predictions indicate that from tomorrow fuel prices at stations will increase by PLN 30-40/l, Domański replied: “This is the average we can accept.”
