“Whereas the excise duty on fuel is fixed, irrespective of the pump price, the higher the price goes the more VAT the government collects, because it is 20 per cent on the end price. According to the website, the cost of a litre of red diesel a week ago was 78.51 pence per litre – an increase of 51.92 pence per litre in the last seven days. The “astronomical” rise in fuel prices “demands urgent government action” a Northern Ireland MLA has said.

Government excise duty cuts to reduce petrol and diesel cost by 15 ... (Irish Examiner)

The 'mini budget' will see a straight cut in excise rates from midnight on Wednesday.

"The best way is not to shut a border but to ensure you share information. Ministers were told that more than 2,200 people have arrived in Ireland, 40% of whom are children. "The Government is acutely aware of this issue. Ministers heard that a fourth round of EU sanctions is being prepared which will be developed further at an informal summit in Versailles this week. Mr Martin said Ms McEntee had “pointed out” to Ms Patel that Ireland was part of the EU-wide response to the crisis. The key will be to move as fast as possible to deal with the numbers coming in daily. Officials in the Department of Justice and the Home Office are in daily contact, ministers heard. Russia's systemic role in energy supply will have significant impact on prices with implications for inflation and production costs. "We have allocated €20 million in humanitarian supports to go through established agencies in the UN, including UNICEF, and the Irish Red Cross to deal with the crisis on the ground close to the borders by way of providing vital supplies,” Mr Martin said. The Government will reduce the cost of petrol by between 15 and 20 cent tomorrow in a move to tackle rising prices. The move has been called a "mini budget" by sources and will see a straight cut in excise rates. There will be an incorporeal cabinet in the morning, followed by a press conference at 11am with Ministers Paschal Donohoe and Eamon Ryan.

Irish cabinet to cut excise duty on petrol and diesel (The Guardian)

Response to warning over impact of Ukraine-Russia war piles pressure on UK chancellor to follow suit.

“As it stands, 26p a litre of what drivers are paying on the forecourt is attributable to VAT and that comes on top of 58p a litre in fuel duty. Diesel drivers are even worse off, with a tank now costing more than £90 for the first time ever – £8 more than in early January.” Hauliers also said their profit margins were being wiped out because of rising diesel bills and this would have to be passed on to consumers. The finance minister, Paschal Donohoe, said: “We are experiencing the consequences of a war. Drivers and businesses have also been hit by a record daily increase in diesel prices. Figures from the data firm Experian Catalist show the average cost of a litre of the fuel at UK forecourts reached 165.2p on Tuesday, up nearly 3p on Monday’s 162.3p. The RAC said the jump was the largest on record, with data dating back to the year 2000.

The politician added that since there is no excise charged on home heating oil, there will be no relief in the cost of heating a home. The final amount of how much the cost of fuel will be cut by is still being debated, but a senior Government source told the Irish Mirror that 20 cent is the number that “will be on the table”. It is believed that the Government will make an announcement today that petrol and diesel prices will be cut by 20c a litre from midnight on Wednesday.

Mary Lou McDonald said people cannot wait for a financial package from the Government as prices surge due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“The Government is acutely aware of this issue. She added: “The Government needs to cut the price of petrol and diesel through an immediate reduction in excise duty. Mr Martin said: “Prior to the war, we already had significant increases in fuel prices. “In that same timescale, the price of home heating oil has doubled and households are now being charged more than €700 for a half-fill of oil. I am asking you to do this now.” People are already hammered by extortionate rents, unaffordable house prices and ever rising costs of insurance and childcare.

This is particularly difficult for people who live in remote and rural areas where they do not have access to frequent public transport,” she said. The knock-on impact of rapid increases is already having an adverse impact on fuel supplies to haulage firms. When oil hit $145 per barrel in 2008, prices at the fuel forecourt were significantly less than the current average market price of diesel and petrol in Ireland,” he said. The Government is acutely conscious of this issue, he said. “And we're now at a point where many people can no longer afford to put fuel in their car to get to work. State impositions would fall in inverse proportion, according to this suggested response.
